A Retrospective Study of Dermatophyte Infection in Newfoundland for the Period 1962-1968

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 distribut...
