Abstract:
Dermatophytoses are chronic fungal infections caused by dermatophytes, that is, keratinophilic fungi that are able to utilize keratin-containing structures (hair, nails, scales, etc.) from humans and animals. They belong to the genera Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton of the family Arthrodermataceae. Individual species may be anthropophilic, zoophilic, or geophilic. Zoophilic species from warm-blooded animals with overt or latent infections may, if transmitted to humans, give rise to severe cases of dermatitis. Transmission from human to human is possible, although infectivity decreases with each passage and dies out after three to four passages. Anthropophilic dermatophytes, such as Trichophyton rubrum, T. tonsurans, and Epidermophyton floccosum, can also (although rarely) be transmitted from humans to animals, in whom they may cause skin diseases. In turn, these animals could be a source for human infections. The same chain may operate in primarily geophilic species, such as Microsporum racemosum and M. gypseum.
