Title

TINEA CAPITIS IN AHWAZ

Pages

  71-75

Abstract

 Background and objectives: DERMATOPHYTOSIS or tinea are the most common infectious diseases, that are cosmopolitan especially in tropical area. Among tinea, tinea capitis has a high endemic. It has been reported in different prevalence rate in Iran and all over the world. The aim of current research was to investigate disease severity and its distribution according to age, sex and detection the etiological agents.Material and methods: This investigation was carried out during 2003 - 2006 in fungal suspected patients who were referred to different diagnosis centers in AHWAZ city. Direct and culture examination were performed for all cases and etiological agents were diagnosed according to colony characterization, slide culture and supplementary tests for appropriate species.Results: Among 5312 fungal suspected cases, 1150 (21.6 %) had DERMATOPHYTOSIS infection and tinea capitis with 127(11%) cases were detected. Ectothrix infection with 88.19% was the most common type of tinea capitis followed by endothrix (9.45%) and favic type (2.36%). Trichophyton verrucosum with 71.65% was the most etiologic agent followed by Microsporum canis, Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton violaseum, Trichophyton schoenleini, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The disease was more common in male with 79.53% infection rate. Conclusion: Despite tinea capitis decreasing rate in comparison with last few years in our region, current study confirmed it existence in our area. Due to the high prevalence of zoophilic dermatophytes (71.65%) it seems that direct and especially indirect contacts play the most important role of disease distribution in the population area.
