title: [Changes in the fungal spectrum of dermatomycoses].
abstract: The spectrum of aetiologic agents isolated from 3607 patients suspicious for dermatomycosis being in the care of the Berlin Charité Clinics was analysed. Identification of dermatophytes and moulds were performed conventionally. For the identification of yeasts biochemical and genetic methods were used. Among the dermatophytes in comparison of present with previous incidence rates changes can be observed. Opportunistic yeasts are recognized in increasing importance. Five fungal species are forming a stable base of aetiologic agents of dermatomycoses, i.e. Trichophyton rubrum, T. mentagrophytes, Candida albicans, C. parapsilosis and Trichosporon cutaneum, completed by increasing incidence of Microsporum canis, T. mentagrophytes var. granulosum and T. tonsurans.
