Objective-To find the prevalence of dermatophytes and non-dematophytes in cases of clinically diagnosed cases of superficial mycoses. Material and methods-The study was conducted on the patients attending OPD of Skin and Venereology department for various dermatological complaints. It is an observational study. A total of 200 samples of skin, hair and nail were taken from patients clinically diagnosed as superficial mycoses. Results- There were 200 clinically diagnosed cases of superficial mycoses of which male were 138 (69%) and female were 62(31%). Commonest age group affected was 21-30 years (51%) followed by 31-40 years (18.75%). Among 200 cases, 20(10%) patients were diabetic. Conclusion- Our study emphasizes the need of knowing the prevalence of various fungal species causing superficial mycoses in an area soas to choose treatment accordingly and to study the role of non dermatophytes along with dermatophytes in the pathogenesis of superficial mycoses andnot merely discarding them as contaminants.
