The epidemiology of human dermatophytes was studied in northern Finland in 1982-90. The samples were analysed at the Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Oulu. The total number of samples was 17,822, of which 3185 (18%) were positive. The annual number of samples and positive cultures remained relatively constant. Trichophyton rubrum was the most common species being isolated from 2101 samples (66% of all positive cultures), while Trichophyton mentagrophytes was isolated from 815 samples (26%) and Epidermophyton floccosum from 193 samples (6%). T. verrucosum caused an epidemic among cattle keepers in 1987-90, causing 47 infections. Microsporum canis, T. terrestre and T. violaceum were rare. The same species affected both children and adults. There was a tendency towards a decrease in tinea in the groin and a slight increase in tinea pedis. T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes occurred most frequently in patients aged 41-45 years and as foot infections. E. floccosum usually affected the toe web and the groin in patients aged 21-25 years, more often infecting men. Fifty-four per cent of all positive samples came from men and 46% from women.
1982年至1990年期间，在芬兰北部对人类皮肤癣菌的流行病学进行了研究。样本在奥卢大学医学微生物学系进行分析。样本总数为17822份，其中3185份（18%）呈阳性。样本数量和阳性培养物的年度数量保持相对稳定。红色毛癣菌是最常见的菌种，从2101份样本中分离得到（占所有阳性培养物的66%），而须癣毛癣菌从815份样本中分离得到（26%），絮状表皮癣菌从193份样本中分离得到（6%）。疣状毛癣菌在1987年至1990年期间在牧民中引发了一场疫情，导致47例感染。犬小孢子菌、土生毛癣菌和紫色毛癣菌较为罕见。相同的菌种对儿童和成人都有影响。腹股沟癣有减少的趋势，足癣略有增加。红色毛癣菌和须癣毛癣菌在41至45岁的患者中最为常见，且多为足部感染。絮状表皮癣菌通常感染21至25岁患者的趾间和腹股沟，男性感染更为常见。所有阳性样本中，54%来自男性，46%来自女性。
