Abstract
Dermatophytosis and dermatomycosis in patients reporting to Command Hospital (SC) were studied over a period of 3 years. A total of 126 cases were investigated. Commonest clinical diagnosis was tinea corporis (39.68%) followed by onychomycosis (20.63%). Some patients had infections of multiple sites. Direct examination under KOH and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) revealed fungal elements in 43 (34.12%) cases. Fungi were isolated from 44 (34.92%) cases. Commonly isolated fungi were Candida albicans 11 (25%), Trichophyton spp 8 (18.18%), Microsporum audouinii 2(4.55%) and Epidermophyton floccosum 1(2.27%).Entities:
