Interdigital erythrasma is the most common form.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Objective\u2002<\/jats:bold> The aim of this study was to detect the frequency and risk factors of interdigital erythrasma in patients with clinically suspected tinea pedis.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> This study was conducted between June and December 2010 and included 122 patients who had interdigital foot lesions. All patients were examined using a Wood\u2019s lamp. The smears were stained using Gram\u2019s method. Direct examination was performed using 20% potassium hydroxide. Sabouraud dextrose agar and brain heart infusion agar were used for cultures. Moreover, the demographical characteristics of patients, concomitant diseases and clinical findings were also recorded. Cases that were found to be positive on Wood\u2019s lamp examination and\/or Gram staining\/culture were considered as erythrasma.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> The rate of erythrasma was found to be 46.7%. The mean age was 43.6\u2003years, and the disease was more prevalent in men. The most common clinical finding was desquamation. Mycological examination was found as positive in 40.35% of the patients. No growth was observed in bacteriological cultures. It was found that using only Wood\u2019s lamp examination or Gram staining resulted in 11 (9%) and 19 positive patients (15.6%), respectively, whereas using both Wood\u2019s lamp examination and Gram staining concurrently resulted in 27 positive patients (22.1%).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion\u2002<\/jats:bold> Interdigital erythrasma is a commonly seen condition and can clinically mimic tinea pedis. A Wood\u2019s lamp is a good diagnostic tool, but Gram staining, particularly in those with a negative Wood\u2019s lamp result, may be a useful method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2011.04293.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,7]],"date-time":"2011-10-07T20:34:07Z","timestamp":1318019647000},"page":"1372-1376","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["The prevalence of interdigital erythrasma in southern region of Turkey"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Inci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Serarslan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Ozer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.U.","family":"Inan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"O.","family":"Evirgen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Erkaslan Alagoz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Duran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","first-page":"1075","volume-title":"Dermatology","author":"Halpern AV","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0507.2004.00997.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2165\/00003495-200262080-00002"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","first-page":"1135","volume-title":"Dermatology","author":"Sobera JO","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","first-page":"765","volume-title":"Koneman\u2019s Color Atlas and Textbook of Diagnostic Microbiology","author":"Inci M","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","first-page":"1088","volume-title":"Clinical Diagnosis and Management by Laboratory Methods","author":"Reisner BS","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0001-7310(08)74718-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(86)70122-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","first-page":"42","article-title":"Etiology of foot intertrigo in the District of Afyonkarahisar, Turkey: a bacteriologic and mycologic study","volume":"98","author":"Karaca S","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Am Podiatr Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-4362.1999.00794.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","first-page":"862","article-title":"Nonfluorescent erythrasma of the vulva","volume":"81","author":"Mattox TF","year":"1993","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2008.03773.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","first-page":"391","article-title":"The Auckland skin clinic tinea pedis and erythrasma study","volume":"22","author":"Allen S","year":"1990","journal-title":"N Z Med J"}],"container-title":["Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fj.1468-3083.2011.04293.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2011.04293.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,14]],"date-time":"2023-10-14T22:30:20Z","timestamp":1697322620000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2011.04293.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,7]]},"references-count":13,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2011.04293.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2011.04293.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9959","1468-3083"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9959","type":"print"},{"value":"1468-3083","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,7]]}}}
