In recent years, an increased number of mycoses have been observed due to non-dermatophytic moulds. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological profile of identified superficial fungal infections in the Laboratory of Parasitology\u2013Mycology of the University Hospital of Nice over a 2-year period. A retrospective study was performed from the nail, skin, and scalp samples of patients analyzed from January 2018 to December 2019. In this study, 3074 samples (54.2% nails, 39.7% skin, and 6.1% scalp) were analyzed representing 1922 patients. Among them, 809 (42.1%) patients were sampled by dermatologists and 1113 (57.9%) were sampled by our experts in the clinical unit of the University Hospital of Nice. In total, 1159 (37.7%) samples had a positive culture (1195 strains identified) including 712 (59.6%) dermatophytes, 345 (28.9%) yeasts, and 138 (11.5%) other filamentous moulds. Trichophyton rubrum was the main dermatophyte (563; 47.1%) followed by T. interdigitale (84; 7.0%), and T. soudanense (25; 2.1%). Yeasts were mostly represented by Candida albicans (155; 13.0%). Among the other moulds, Fusarium sp. was the most isolated (61; 5.1%). Dermatophytes stay predominant in superficial fungal infections where the anthropophilic species T. rubrum was found in almost half of the positive cultures. Interestingly, moulds represented an important part of infections in our population. This study highlights the increasing share of Fusarium sp. superficial fungal infection in our patients\u2019 population, perhaps requiring a major therapeutic adaptation in the years to come.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/mmy\/myad015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,8]],"date-time":"2023-02-08T18:43:22Z","timestamp":1675881802000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Superficial fungal infections in the south of France\u2014is fusariosis the next emergent onychopathy?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"61","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7171-6303","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne","family":"Landreau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Angers, Univ Brest, [CHU Angers], IRF, SFR ICAT , Angers , France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5583-1272","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lo\u00efc","family":"Simon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CHU de Nice, Service de Parasitologie-Mycologie , Nice , France"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 C\u00f4te d'Azur , INSERM 1065 C3M, Nice , France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pascal","family":"Delaunay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CHU de Nice, Service de Parasitologie-Mycologie , Nice , France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christelle","family":"Pomares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CHU de Nice, Service de Parasitologie-Mycologie , Nice , France"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 C\u00f4te d'Azur , INSERM 1065 C3M, Nice , France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lilia","family":"Hasseine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CHU de Nice, Service de Parasitologie-Mycologie , Nice , France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"Suppl 4","key":"2023021508092883300_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0507.2008.01606.x","article-title":"Epidemiological trends in skin mycoses worldwide","volume":"51","author":"Havlickova","year":"2008","journal-title":"Mycoses"},{"key":"2023021508092883300_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"261","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mycmed.2014.10.005","article-title":"[Onychomycoses due to molds]","volume":"24","author":"Chabasse","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Mycol Med"},{"key":"2023021508092883300_","first-page":"284","article-title":"[Onychomycoses: Diagnosis and management methods]","volume":"17","author":"Baran","year":"2007","journal-title":"Journal de Mycologie M\u00e9dicale"},{"key":"2023021508092883300_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"59","DOI":"10.1007\/s11046-015-9953-7","article-title":"Superficial fungal infections in a French teaching hospital in Grenoble Area: Retrospective study on 5470 samples from 2001 to 2011","volume":"181","author":"Faure-Cognet","year":"2016","journal-title":"Mycopathologia"},{"key":"2023021508092883300_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"g1800","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.g1800","article-title":"Fungal nail infection: Diagnosis and management","volume":"348","author":"Eisman","year":"2014","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"key":"2023021508092883300_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"969","DOI":"10.1007\/s42770-019-00096-0","article-title":"Mycoses in northeastern Brazil: Epidemiology and prevalence of fungal species in 8 years of retrospective analysis in Alagoas","volume":"50","author":"de Albuquerque Maranh\u00e3o","year":"2019","journal-title":"Braz J Microbiol"},{"key":"2023021508092883300_","first-page":"1","article-title":"[Les dermatophytes.
