Summary: | The results of a survey of dermatophyte infection in New-foundland for the period 1962 to 1968 are presented. A steady annual rise in the number of specimen submissions is noted, with positive findings in an average of 21.7%. The contribution by source of specimens is recorded, and species distribution indicates that Microsporum canis has behaved in epidemic form whereas other species appear endemic. Trichophyton rubrum infection shows a steady annual increase. No cases of favus have been noted. The distribution of species by anatomical site is indicated. |
