ABSTRACT

Background: Dermatophytosis, or tinea, are fungal infections caused by dermatophytes. Nevertheless, other fungi as Candida sp. and Trichosporon sp. can be isolated. Tineas are the most common superficial mycosis, with an increasing prevalence in occidental countries, such as Mexico.
Objectives: to become acquainted on the prevalence of tinea pedis confirmed by mycological study in patients with presumptive diagnosis at a general hospital in Mexico City.
Methodology: We analyzed on an observational descriptive cross-sectional study, in 229 patients and we selected 140 with a positive mycological sample.
Results: tinea pedis was confirmed by mycological test in 140 cases. Trichophyton rubrum was the most isolated etiologic agent with 70%, predominantly in women with 56% and patients from 35 to 66 years of age. Also Candida spp. (17.64%) and Trichosporon spp. (5.88%) were isolated.
Conclusions: tinea pedis is quite common in our studied population, predominant in housewives and patients from 35 to 66 years of age, T. rubrum was the most isolated etiological agent, but Candida spp. and Trichosporon spp. can be isolated. It’s highly recommended to perform a mycological study for diagnosis and treatment.
