[Dermatophytic disease. Recent Algerian observations].
We have reported 5 cases of dermatophytic disease observed in Algiers. We insist on three characteristics of the disease: 1. - the familial predisposition; 2. - the deficiency of the cell-mediated immunity while humoral immunity remains apparently intact with high levels of IgE; 3. - the seriousness of the disease: one of our patients has a cerebral abscess, while another died despite the grisefulin therapy.
