Diagnosis of Dermatophytosis by Conventional Methods and Comparatative analysis of Sabouraud Dextrose Agar and Dermatophyte Test Medium for Isolation of Dermatophytes.
Mymensingh Medical Journal : MMJ 2017 April
Dermatophytosis is a fungal disease which ranked as one of the most common cutaneous condition in all over the world. The aim of this cross sectional observational study is to identify the etiological agent of dermatophytosis and comparison of Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) and Dermatophyte test medium (DTM) for the primary isolation of dermatophytes among the clinically suspected cases of dermatophytosis from the outpatient Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital from July 2013 to December 2015. Two hundred thirty clinically suspected cases of dermatophytosis were subjected in this study. Sixty three cases (27.4%) were positive for fungus in direct microscopy while 53(23%) were culture positive. Trichophyton rubrum (83%) was found common etiological dermatophyte species followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes 5(9.4%) and Epidermophyton floccosum 4(7.5%). There was no statistically significant difference between the SDA and DTM (p<0.01) in primary isolation of dermatophytes.
