초록

Dermatophytosis is a fungal infection of the keratinized tissues of the skin, hair, and nails caused by dermatophytes or other fungi. Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton are the three genera of dermatophytes that cause skin infections. In Korea, Trichophyton rubrum is the most common dermatophytes. Dermatophytosis can be classified into anthropophilic, zoophilic, and geophilic, and most fungal infections encountered by dermatologists are tinea, dermatophytosis. This study attempted to provide a brief discussion about the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and considerations for antifungal use in the treatment of dermatophytosis.
