The present study investigated the clinical and mycological characteristics of dermatophytosis from the central India rural tertiary care hospital.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Aim and Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n To characterise the clinicomycological profile of dermatophytosis from the tertiary care hospital in central India.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n A total of 95 patients with suspected dermatophytosis were enrolled during a period of 1 year and 9 months. Demographic details, clinical history and clinical samples from infected sites (skin, hair and nail) were collected after patient consent. Dermatophytes\u2019 growth was identified based on the phenotypic methods.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 95 clinically diagnosed dermatophytosis cases were enrolled, and the most common clinical manifestation was tinea corporis 73.68% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 70), followed by tinea cruris 9.47% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 9). In addition, 52.63% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 50) were females and 47.37% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 45) were males. A higher number of cases accounted for chronic dermatophytosis (50.52%), followed by recurrent dermatophytosis (40%). The contact history of animal and soil contact was found to be 11.57% each. Of the 95 samples, dermatophyte growth was observed in 44.21% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 42) isolates, where\n Trichophyton mentagrophytes<\/jats:italic>\n complex was the predominant organism 33.68% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 32), followed by\n Trichophyton rubrum<\/jats:italic>\n 9.47% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 9) and\n Trichophyton tonsurans,<\/jats:italic>\n 1.05% (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 1).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n \n T. mentagrophyte<\/jats:italic>\n complex is the predominant dermatophyte in central India. Tinea corporis is a significant clinical finding reported; further, the animal\u2019s contact history is an essential risk factor associated with this disease.\n <\/jats:p>\n
