ABSTRACT

Background: dermatomycosis are the most common superficial fungal infections worldwide, with tinea pedis and onychomycosis being the most. Soccer players are constantly predisposed to fungal infections due to the variability of individual and environmental conditions to which they are constantly exposed.
Objectives: to determine the prevalence and associated factors of onychomycosis and tinea pedis in soccer players from Casanare, Colombia.
Methodology: epidemiological cross-sectional study, conducted between February and March 2021 in soccer players of the Club Atlético Real Paz of the municipality of Paz de Ariporo, Casanare. It included a total of 32 players, 18 of whom presented some type of lesion related to superficial mycosis. A clinical survey was carried out containing questions related to environmental, cultural and socioeconomic factors; direct examination and culture were performed.
Results: the prevalence of mycosis in soccer players was 56.25%, of which 61.1% correspond to onychomycosis and 33.3% to tinea pedis. 56.2% of the mycoses were caused by environmental molds being Scytalidium sp. the most frequent fungus (18.7%), 40.6% by dermatophytes (Trichophyton mentagrophytes in 18.7%) and 3.1% by yeasts (Candida albicans).
Conclusions: tinea pedis and onychomycosis were very frequent in the population studied. As for the factors associated with these pathologies, it was found that excessive sweating and feet-wounds increased the risk of fungal infections.
