This increase is associated with a change in the clinical pattern and mycological profile with poor response to treatment, in adults and children. Limited studies in India have focused on pediatric dermatophytoses. Our study\u2019s primary objective was to assess the clinicomycological profile of pediatric dermatophytosis in our region and secondarily to understand the association of lifestyle factors with poor response to treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was an observational study including children \u226416 years of age, clinically diagnosed with tinea.

The most common diagnosis was tinea corporis. Tinea cruris was more frequent in preadolescents, where males were more affected. Positive associations were seen between increased duration of infection, increased household infection, infection among playmates, irregular bathing, and use of steroid creams.
