[Microsporum infections in Hajdú-Bihar County].
Mycotic infections caused by Microsporum canis occurred in 237 cases between 1983-1995 in Hajdú-Bihar county. The disease accumulated seasonally up during the beginning of summer and the end of autumn, in particularly. Children and young people had often got microsporiasis. Women patients seemed to be more frequent than men. The disease in many cases, appeared on all members of families. A main factor in spreading of pathogen were apparently healthy Persian cats. Only few cases could be observed in child-communities on the occasion of screening. The oral antimycotics-griseofulvin, terbinafine-combined with local ones proved efficacious in the treatment of scalp microsporia and extensive skin infections. Local antimycotical unguents/creames and solutions resulted acceptable effects in the therapy of localized microsporiatic symptoms. Cooperation between dermatologists, epidemiologists and veterinaries is needed for successful prevention.
