| dermatophytoses in crete, greece, between 1992 and 1996. | pathological specimens from 1361 patients with clinical manifestations of dermatophytosis from the island of crete, greece, were examined for dermatophytes during a 5-year period (1992-96). dermatophytes of the genus trichophyton, microsporum and epidermophyton were isolated from 327 (24%) of the patients. trichophyton rubrum was the most frequently isolated dermatophyte accounting for 44.4% of the strains, followed by m. canis (25%), t. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale (14.4%) and e. floccosum ... | 1998 | 9670771 |
| a 7-year survey of dermatophytoses in crete, greece. | dermatophytoses are of worldwide distribution. epidemiological studies concerning dermatophyte infections have been performed in many countries and differences in the incidence and the aetiological agents have been reported in different geographical locations. this study was undertaken to investigate the prevailing species of dermatophytes in the island of crete, greece, and their pattern of infection during a 7-year period (1997-2003). a total of 5544 samples obtained from 3751 patients with cl ... | 2007 | 17944710 |
| epidemiology of onychomycosis in crete, greece: a 12-year study. | onychomycosis is a chronic fungal nail infection caused by dermatophytes, yeasts or non-dermatophyte moulds (ndms). it occurs worldwide and accounts for about 50% of all nail disorders. the incidence of the disease and the prevalence of pathogens involved vary in different geographical areas and change with time. this study was undertaken to determine the epidemiology of onychomycosis in crete, greece during a 12-year period. mycologic nail investigation (direct microscopy and cultures) was perf ... | 2016 | 27432461 |
| epidemiology of dermatophytoses in crete, greece. | dermatophytoses are among the most frequently diagnosed skin infections worldwide. however, the distribution of pathogenic species and the predominating anatomical sites of infection vary with geographical location and change over time. the aim of this study was to determine the epidemiological and aetiological factors of dermatophytoses in crete, greece over the last 5-year period (2011-2015) and their incidence in relation to the gender and the age of the patients. we compared our findings wit ... | 2016 | 27904054 |
