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.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
