In order to evaluate the distribution of dermatophytes in Porto Alegre, the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, they were isolated from the skin, hairs and nails samples and retrospectively analyzed from June 1981 to June 1995, in two different institutions in the city of Porto Alegre: (i) the Serviço de Micologia do Instituto de Pesquisas Biológicas Jandyr Maya Faillace, da Secretaria de Saúde e Meio Ambiente do Rio Grande do Sul which attends the low income population (low and middle classes) and, (ii) Laboratório Weinmann, a clinical pathology laboratory which attends predominantly the higher income population (middle and upper classes), both which attend in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre. The dermatophyte predominance of Trichophyton rubrum was confirmed (55.33%) followed by T. mentagrophytes (21.46%). The data obtained were compared with the existing prevalence data which were collected in the interior of the state over a period of 32 years (1960-1992). T. verrucosum, T. simii, Microsporum persicolor, T. schöenleinii, M. nanum and M. cookei were isolated in the interior and have not been found in the capital so far. On the other side, T. violaceum was, isolated in the capital and has not been found in the interior so far.
为评估巴西南里奥格兰德州首府阿雷格里港皮肤癣菌的分布情况，从1981年6月至1995年6月，在阿雷格里港市的两个不同机构，对皮肤、毛发和指甲样本中的皮肤癣菌进行分离并进行回顾性分析：（i）南里奥格兰德州卫生与环境秘书处的生物研究所扬迪尔·玛雅·法利亚斯真菌学服务部，该部门主要服务低收入人群（中低收入阶层）；（ii）韦曼实验室，一个临床病理实验室，主要服务高收入人群（中高阶层），这两个机构均位于阿雷格里港大都市区。红色毛癣菌的皮肤癣菌优势地位得到确认（55.33%），其次是须癣毛癣菌（21.46%）。将获得的数据与该州内陆地区32年（1960 - 1992年）收集的现有患病率数据进行比较。疣状毛癣菌、猴头癣菌、变色小孢子菌、石膏样毛癣菌、猪小孢子菌和库克小孢子菌在内陆地区被分离出来，目前在首府尚未发现。另一方面，紫色毛癣菌在首府被分离出来，目前在内陆地区尚未发现。
