title: [Tinea pedis in children].
abstract: Our study included children up to 15 years of age who were selected from an open population. We found a frequency of 3.4% and it ranked 3rd among the most common dermatoses. The age range varied between 1 year 9 months to 15 years. In only one case we found an important predisposing factor (lupus erythematosus which was treated with systemic steroids). It is concluded that this dermatosis is not as infrequent as it seems.
