Dermatophytes in Iceland.
Prior to 1982, no reliable information was available on prevailing dermatophyte species or infections in Iceland. In 1983-1984 fungal cultures performed on 96 patients revealed that Trichophyton tonsurans was the most common isolate, followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum. There were no cases of tinea capitis and tinea corporis was rare, but the most common sites of infection were the feet and toenails.
