There are currently no studies of tinea pedis and\/or onychomycosis in Algeria. The aim of this paper was to study the epidemiology of foot diseases, including tinea pedis and onychomycosis and to identify the aetiological factors of these infections in outpatients attending the Department of Dermatology of the Central Hospital of Army in Algiers, Algeria. A total of 1300 male subjects, mean age 35.9\u2003\u00b1\u200316\u2003years (range: 16\u201380) were recruited during the period November 2003 to November 2004 and were clinically examined. A complete dermatological examination was performed on all subjects, and skin and nail specimens of the feet were taken from those patients presenting signs of tinea pedis and\/or onychomycosis for microscopy and fungal culture. Clinical diagnosis for tinea pedis and onychomycosis was suspected in 249 and 72 subjects, respectively, and confirmed in 197 and 60 cases, respectively, by positive cultures, resulting in a global prevalence of tinea pedis and toenail onychomycosis of 15% and 4.6% respectively. The age groups most commonly infected were 50\u201359 and 20\u201329\u2003years. The yeast species <jats:italic>Candida parapsilosis<\/jats:italic> and the dermatophytic species <jats:italic>Trichophyton rubrum<\/jats:italic> were shown to be the most common pathogens in both tinea pedis (<jats:italic>C. parapsilosis<\/jats:italic> 20.4%; <jats:italic>T. rubrum<\/jats:italic> 17%) and onychomycosis (<jats:italic>T. rubrum<\/jats:italic> 35%; <jats:italic>C. parapsilosis<\/jats:italic> 28.3%). This is the first investigation dealing with fungal foot diseases in Algeria. The clinical and epidemiological data collected would serve as reference for future research and may be useful in the development of preventive and educational strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0507.2006.01230.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,25]],"date-time":"2006-04-25T16:59:27Z","timestamp":1145984367000},"page":"190-196","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Epidemiological
