Background: Dermatophytosis is a major public health concern in India, especially in recent years, with an alarmingly rising trend, particularly in relation to recurrent and chronic infection. The number of studies examining the relationship between an individual's glycemic status and the development of dermatophytosis, and a comparison of the evolving species trend between diabetic and non-diabetic patients infected with dermatophytes, is limited.
Aims And Objectives: To study and compare the clinical and mycological aspects of dermatophytosis among diabetic and non-diabetic patients and to compare the culture isolates in both groups.
Article Synopsis
- Oral cancer is a major health issue in India, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to delayed help-seeking and diagnostic processes, with a study analyzing these time intervals among 226 patients.
