[Epidemiology of dermatomycoses in Slovakia].
The authors analyze the incidence of dermatomycoses in the Slovak Republic in 1994-1999. They found an increase of these infections in particular epidermophytoses, trichophytoses and candidoses. From 25,762 examined subjects with suspicion of dermatomycosis they isolated in 1990 till 1999 8,237 cultures of dermatophytes. The most frequent causal agent was Trichophyton rubrum (81.61%). In the conclusion the authors draw attention to the inevitability of introduction of effective preventive measures.
