Abstract

Introduction: Regarding the fact that dissanitation in SWIMMING POOLS can cause a lot of diseases such as DERMATOPHYTOSIS in swimmers, this study is done with the aim of determination of Dermatophytic infections in covered public SWIMMING POOLS of Qom city during 2004.Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study 480 samples were taken from six public SWIMMING POOLS. Samples were carried to the laboratory where they were passed through milipore filters. Filters then were trasfered to mycosel agar medium and incubated for three weeks at 25 C°. Data was analyzed using fisher test. Results: Among 480 samples, eleven Dermatophytes (8/8 percent) were isolated and indentified as follow: Trichophyton Mentagrophytes (2/4%), Trichophyton Tonsuranse (1/6%), Trichophyton Equinum (1/6%), Trichophyton Verrucosum (0/8%) Trichophyton Rubrum (0/8%), Trichophyton Schoenlinii (0/8%) and Epidermophyton Floccosum (0/8%). There was a significant relationship between prevalence of Dermatophytes and disregarding of personal hygiene standards (p=0/0001) and no significant relationship between residual Chlorine of SWIMMING POOLS and prevalence of Dermatophytes.Conclusion: Because the majority of isolated Dermatophytes were anthropophilic and had been transferred from swimmers to the SWIMMING POOLS it is necessary to care personal hygiene standards and provide good sanitation conditions in WATER and environment of the SWIMMING POOLS.
