Between 1967 and 1977, the systematic research of keratinophiles of the ground in a radius of 30--50 km around Lyon, has shown the ubiquitarian predominance of Microsporum nanum, which is probably the most ancient occupant of the ground. The most intensive areas of human and animal occupation in the Rhodanian tract show the predominance of Microsporum gypseum, which is scarcely found in man. Sporadic localizations, tightly limites, bound to cirulcation axes and international gathering, let us detect Microsporum cookei, Trichophyton verrucosum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Chrysosporium keratinophilum, and Keratinomyces ajelloi. However, in the last years, a progressive extension of recently imported kinds and a decrease in native kinds appears to have occurred.

We report the case of an 18-month-old boy who developed a phototoxic skin reaction to terbinafine on his scalp, ears, and face in the form of disseminated erythematous plaques, which resembled subacute lupus erythematosus (SCLE) in their clinical presentation. Skin changes appeared a short time after the boy was exposed to sunlight during the period of time when he was treated with oral terbinafine due to Microsporum canis fungal scalp infection. Tinea capitis is a common dermatophyte infection primarily affecting prepubertal children (1).

Keratinophilic fungi, or dermatophytes, are recognized as the predominant fungal agents responsible for superficial skin diseases globally. The identification of species of dermatophytes is crucial for both therapeutic and epidemiological considerations. The primary objective of the present study was to investigate the epidemiology of dermatophytosis among patients who sought medical attention at the medical mycology laboratory in Golestan province.

Article Synopsis
- - Dermatophytosis is a widespread fungal infection affecting about 20-25% of the global population, with significant prevalence in Odisha, India, where there is limited data on its clinic-mycological patterns.
- - A two-year cross-sectional study was conducted with participants aged 18-65 who had active dermatophyte infections, involving clinical examinations and mycological assessments.
- - The results revealed that the most common fungal isolate was identified at 21.7%, indicating that different dermatophyte species have varying prevalence rates, with specific trends noted in this region of eastern India.
