A dermaphytosis survey covering 3,860 schoolchildren was conducted in Lagos, Nigeria, between January 1973 and January 1974. Seven species of dermatophytes, namely, Trichophyton mentagrophytes (four isolates), T. rubrum (three isolates), T. soundanense (11 isolates), Microsporum canis (five isolates), M. gypseum (two isolates), M audouinii (four isolates), and Epidermophyton floccosum (three isolates) were recovered from specimens collected from the hair, skin and scalp scrapings of 81 schoolchildren. The incidence of dermatophytosis (2.10%) is low in schoolchildren covered in this survey. This is the first time M. canis and M. Gypseum have been isolated from superficial skin lesions in human beings in Nigeria.
1973年1月至1974年1月期间，在尼日利亚拉各斯对3860名学童进行了皮肤癣菌病调查。从81名学童的头发、皮肤和头皮刮屑标本中分离出7种皮肤癣菌，即须癣毛癣菌（4株分离株）、红色毛癣菌（3株分离株）、桑地毛癣菌（11株分离株）、犬小孢子菌（5株分离株）、石膏样小孢子菌（2株分离株）、奥杜盎小孢子菌（4株分离株）和絮状表皮癣菌（3株分离株）。本次调查覆盖的学童中皮肤癣菌病的发病率（2.10%）较低。这是首次在尼日利亚从人类浅表皮肤病变中分离出犬小孢子菌和石膏样小孢子菌。
