The causative organisms and susceptibility factors were compared in two groups of individuals with tinea pedis, coal miners (234) and dermatological outpatients (244). Trichophyton rubrum was the commonest dermatophyte in both groups, being isolated from 71% of infected miners and 77% of infected outpatients. The incidence of atopy in the outpatients, but not the miners, was significantly higher in individuals with T rubrum infections than in control groups. An analysis of the data from both groups suggests that in the coal miners, in whom there is a high risk of endemic dermatophytosis, susceptibility factors such as atopy are of less importance than in patients seen in a dermatological outpatient clinic in whom the risk of exposure to other sources of dermatophytosis is low.
对两组足癣患者(234名煤矿工人和244名皮肤科门诊患者)的致病生物和易感因素进行了比较。红色毛癣菌是两组中最常见的皮肤癣菌,在71%的感染矿工和77%的感染门诊患者中分离到该菌。门诊患者而非矿工中,感染红色毛癣菌的个体特应性发病率显著高于对照组。对两组数据的分析表明,在地方性皮肤癣菌病风险较高的煤矿工人中,特应性等易感因素的重要性低于皮肤科门诊患者,因为门诊患者接触其他皮肤癣菌病源的风险较低。
