This document discusses different types of dermatophytosis (ringworm) infections based on their location on the body. It describes tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp), tinea corporis (ringworm of the body), tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea barbae (ringworm of the beard), tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea manuum (ringworm of the hands), and tinea unguium (ringworm of the nails). It provides details on symptoms, diagnosis using KOH preparation, culture, and Wood's lamp examination. Treatment involves topical antifungal creams or oral antifungal medications like ketoconazole

2. Tinea on the basis of location in the body
1. TINEA BARBAE
2. TINEA CORPORIS
3. TINEA CAPITIS
4. TINEA CRURIS ( JOCK ITCH)
5. TINEA PEDIS ( ATHLETE’S FOOT)
6. TINEA MANUUM
7. TINEA UNGUIUM

3. TINEA CAPITIS
This is the infection of the shaft or scalp hairs and presents as the
following clinical types:
a) Inflammatory:- Kerion,favus
b) Non-inflammatory :- Black dot, Ectothrix and Endothrix

4. The infection hairs in tinea capitis appear dull and grcy
The base of hair shaft as well as hair follicles in involved
These is breakage of hair at follicular which creates patches of
qlopecia with black dots of broken hairs
Hair infected can be diagnosed by using wood’s lamp ( yellow green
fluoresence)

6. TINEA CORPORIS
Characterised by erythematous scaly lesions, annular, sharply
marginated plaques with raised border which may be single, multiple
or confluent

8. TINEA PEDIS
This is the infection of planter aspects of foot , toes and interdigital
web spaces
It is frequently seen among individual wearing shoes for long hours
and populary known as Athlete’s foot
In toe webs,scaling, fissuring and erythema may be associated with
an itching or burning sensation

9. Due to muceration and peeling ,cracks appear which are prone to
secondary bacterial infections
When infection becomes chronic, sole becomes hyperkeratotic and
is often covered with fine scales

10. TINEA BARBAE
•Infections of beard and moustache areas of face with invasion of
coarse hairs
•Also called as barber’s itch
•There are erythematatous patches on face which show scaling

11. TINEA CRURIS
Dermatophytic infection of groin
Involves perineum, scrotum and perianal area and may spread to
inner third of buttock and occasionally to thigh
The apperance of finea cruris can be seen in other intertriginous
areas such as axilla and around

12. TINEA NANUUM
Dermatophyte infection of skin of plamer aspect of hands

13. TINEA UNGUIUM
Dermatophyte infection of nail plates and is
largely a disease of adults
It begins under leading free adge of nail
plate or along lateral nail fold and may
continue until entire nail plate and nail bed
are infected
There is accumulation of subungual debris
in an apaque, chalky or yellowish thickned
nail.

14. DIAGNOSIS
Specimen:- scrapings of the skin and nail as well as short length of
hair plucked from the scalp, scarping are takrn from the edges or
ringworm lesions.
I. Direct microscopic examination
II. KOH wet mont:- Branching septate ( non-pigmented) hyphae is
considered positive for fungi, spores may also be seen
III. Wood’s lamp:- in suspected tinea capitis,plucked hair is examined
only using wood’s lamp.
- infected hair will be fluorescent ( Yellow green)

15. IV). Culture:- species identification is possible only by culture
examonation
- sabouraud’s dextrose agar

16. TREATMENT
1. Topical:
ointments or gels contaning azole:-
- miconazole
- clotrimazole
- econazole or terbinafine
2. Oral :
- ketoconazole
- intraconazole or terbinafine
