Abstract

A total of 3 654 samples were collected in the Mycological Laboratory of the Department of Dermatovenelogy, 1st Faculty of Medicine, Prague in 2015. T. rubrum was the most frequent dermatophyte isolated (91,5%), followed by T. interdigitalie (4,5%) and M. canis (1,8%).

Less frequently isolated were A. benhamiae, T. tonsurans, E. floccosum a M. gypseum. The spectrum of dermatophytes is similar to previous years, there is a high proportion of antropophilic species, which corresponds to the composition of the urban population.

This review discusses the current and future treatment options of dermatophytoses.
