Positive samples totaled 750 cases consisting of the nail (373\/49.7%), skin (323\/43%), head (47\/6.26%), and mucosal membrane (4\/0.5%). The yeasts group included 304 <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic> spp. (70.3%), 123\u00a0<jats:italic>Malassezia<\/jats:italic> spp. (28.47%), and 5 <jats:italic>Rhodotorula<\/jats:italic> spp. (1.1%). The filamentous fungi were distributed as 34.8% dermatophytes and 7.5% non\u2010dermatophyte. The clinical types of dermatophytosis were tinea unguium (110\/261), tinea capitis (50\/261), tinea pedis (48\/261), tinea corporis (37\/261), and tinea cruris (16\/261).
