Abstract
Fungal infections of the skin account for a large number of consultations to general practitioners and dermatologists. They are caused by dermatophytes, such as Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton tonsurans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis, Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum gypseum, and Trichophyton verrucosum (Sinski and Kelley 1991).
