Sažetak
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF FUNGAL DISEASES IN RIJEKA AREA M. Lenković, L. Prpic-Massari, A. Stašić, I. Brajac Department of Dermatovenerology, Clinical Hospital Centre Rijeka, Croatia AIM: Analysis of the frequency of dermatomycoses in Rijeka area during the period 1995-1999. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 11958 patients with clinically suspected dermatomycoses referred to the Department of Dermatovenerology, Clinical Hospital Center Rijeka was examined. All fungal samples (hair fragments, skin scrapings and nail clippings) were examined in 20% KOH solution directly under the mycroscope and cultivated on Sabouraud-maltose agar enriched with penicillin and streptomycin to prevent bacterial growth. The cultures were incubated at 300C for 4 weeks and the isolated fungi were classified by their macro and micromorphology. RESULTS: Out of 11958 examined samples, 2250 cases (18.81%) had a fungal infection. Of these, 36.93% were diagnosed as having dermatophytoses, 43.06% as having C. albicans infection and the remaining samples were defined as infected by Pityrosporum sp. and moulds. The most frequently isolated dermatophytes were Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis (54.1% and 35.08%, respectively), followed by Microsporum gypseum, Epidermophyton floccosum, Trichophyton verrucosum. Trichophyton mentagrophytes involved feet and toenails of middle-aged males and Microsporum canis was isolated mostly on scalp and face of young children. CONCLUSION: Our results were compared with those obtained in previous studies in other countries.
