Dermatomycoses are not diseases requiring compulsory notifications; rather they cause cosmetic defacements. Indian subcontinent with a varied topography is favorable for various fungal infections.\n                    <jats:italic>Objective<\/jats:italic>\n                    . To look for the epidemiological and mycological profile of superficial mycoses in North India.\n                    <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Three hundred and fifty-one clinical samples of skin, hair, and nail were examined to find the fungal etiology of the dermatomycoses.\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Dermatomycoses were seen in 215\/351 (61.2%) of cases. Most common isolates obtained were nondermatophyte molds (NDMs) (36.1%), followed by dermatophytes (13.8%) and yeasts (8.6%).\n                    <jats:italic>Aspergillus niger<\/jats:italic>\n                    (9%) was the most common mold.\n                    <jats:italic>Trichophyton rubrum<\/jats:italic>\n                    (4.6%) was the most common dermatophyte isolated, while amongst the yeasts\n                    <jats:italic>Non-albicans Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                    (NAC) species were more common (6%).

Our study reflects an increasing role of NDMs (thought to be normal laboratory or environmental contaminants) as a causative agent of dermatomycoses, replacing the dermatophytes. Clinician\u2019s awareness of the demographic profile of the population involved along with more studies on dermatomycoses can help in understanding the etiological profile in area, leading to prevention of disease occurrence and cosmetic disfigurement.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/157828","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,30]],"date-time":"2015-09-30T17:20:56Z","timestamp":1443633656000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Mycological Pattern of Dermatomycoses in a Tertiary Care Hospital"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2015","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9230-4188","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ravinder","family":"Kaur","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi 110001, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pragyan Swagatika","family":"Panda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Maulana Azad Medical College & Associated Hospitals, New Delhi 110002, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kabir","family":"Sardana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology & Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Maulana Azad Medical College & Associated Hospitals, New Delhi 110002, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sahanawaj","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Maulana Azad Medical College & Associated Hospitals, New Delhi 110002, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"416","volume-title":"Criptococcose","year":"2002"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S0036-46652012000100002"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0378-6323.129434"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0019-5154.131392"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0377-4929.48915"},{"key":"6","first-page":"238","volume":"66","year":"2000","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology"},{"issue":"3","key":"7","first-page":"320","volume":"42","year":"2013","journal-title":"Iranian Journal of Public Health"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0255-0857.150922"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0255-0857.31063"},{"issue":"3","key":"10","first-page":"233","volume":"36","year":"1993","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7860\/jcdr\/2013\/5969.3378"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0378-6323.39584"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0019-5154.41651"},{"issue":"2","key":"14","first-page":"85","volume":"1","year":"2010","journal-title":"National Journal of Community Medicine"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0019-5154.31923"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3314\/jjmm.51.23"},{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0507.2006.01224.x"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mjd.2000.104794"},{"key":"19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1439-0507.2002.00705.x"},{"issue":"4","key":"20","first-page":"284","volume":"69","year":"2003","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology"},{"key":"21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.2001.tb00081.x"},{"key":"22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/b:myco.0000041866.85314.e4"},{"key":"23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2008.03674.x"}],"container-title":["Journal of Tropical Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2015\/157828.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2015\/157828.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2015\/157828.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,18]],"date-time":"2016-08-18T09:19:16Z","timestamp":1471511956000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/jtm\/2015\/157828\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015]]},"references-count":23,"alternative-id":["157828","157828"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2015\/157828","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-9686","1687-9694"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1687-9686","type":"print"},{"value":"1687-9694","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}}}
