Abstract

In the period between April 1984 and April 1988 a total of 4,294 clinically suspected cases of dermatomycoses were examined for causative fungi. Of these cases 174 (4.1%) were suspected as cutaneous candidosis. These cases belonged to 15 different nationalities. Both sexes were involved (122 males and 52 females). Thirty four cases were prepubertal children while 140 were adults. Of these cases 163 had their clinical diagnosis confirmed by direct microscopy and on culture yielded 164 isolates (Candida albicans 161, C. stellatoidea 1 and Trichophyton rubrum 1).
