Sažetak
Onychomycoses occur throughout the world but there are regional differences in incidence. Sociocultural and occupational factors play an important part in the increase and spread of organisms. The aim of our study was to analyze the prevalence of fungal nail infections in population of Rijeka area during the past five years. A total of 2450 patients with clinically suspected onychomycoses referred to Dermatolo-venerology Clinic, Clinical Hospital Center Rijeka in period from 2000 till 2004 were examined. During this period onychomycoses were recorded in 1335 cases ; 853 (63, 90%) cases of Candida albicans infection, and 249 (18, 65%) cases of dermatophytoses. The nail infections due to yeasts were recorded in 233 cases (17, 45%). Trichophyton mentagrophytes was predominate dermatophyte (17, 15%), followed by T.violaceum (1, 27%), while T. verrucosum was detected only sporadically. During five year period we observed an increase in incidence of C. albicans as well as T. mentagrophytes and T.violaceum fungal infection.
