DERMATOPHYTOSIS Dermatophytosis and tinea are general
terms applied to fungal infection of keratinized areas of the body (hair, skin, and nails)
Causative agents are dermatophtyes, which are subdivided according to site of infection TINEA BARBAE & TINEA CAPITIS TINEA CRURIS & TINEA CORPORIS TINEA PEDIS ONYCHOMYCOSIS

DERMATOPHYTOSIS CON’T
MODE OF TRANSMISSION Direct skin to skin or indirect contact
(the backs of seats, barber clippers, combs, hairbrushes, clothing and hats that are contaminated with hair from infected people or animals)

DERMATOPHYTOSIS CON’T
INCUBATION PERIOD Usually 10 to 14 days Viable fungus may persist on contaminated
materials for long periods
![Page 14: CCDM, Control of Communicable Diseases in Man](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051314/555af4abd8b42a4c7d8b53d2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DERMATOPHYTOSIS CON’T
SUSCEPTIBILITY Children below the age of puberty are highly
susceptible to M All ages are subject to T infections Reinfections mainly occur for infections
spread amongst humans
![Page 15: CCDM, Control of Communicable Diseases in Man](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022051314/555af4abd8b42a4c7d8b53d2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DERMATOPHYTOSIS CON’T
METHODS OF CONTROL Educate the public Survey heads of young children by UV light
before school entry in the presence of epidemics or in hyperendemic areas where the species is prevalent.
In mild cases, daily washing of the scalp Sulfide shampoos help remove scales In severe cases, wash and cover with a cap,
which should be boiled after use.

ONYCHOMYCOSIS
ONYCHOMYCOSIS Ringworm of the nails Nail gradually becomes detached from the
nail bed, thickens, and becomes discolored and brittle
The nail eventually becomes chalky and disintegrates
DX: is made by micro exam of potassium hydroxide preps of the nail and a culture
