Overview
Dermatophytes may be classified according to genera, mode of transmission and disease patterns. Dermatophytes of the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum are the most common causative agents.
Classification
Dermatophytes may be classified according to various schemes.[1]
Classification Based On Genera
Based upon their genera, dermatophytes can be classified into three groups:
- Trichophyton (which causes infections on skin, hair, and nails)
- Epidermophyton (which causes infections on skin and nails)
- Microsporum (which causes infections on skin and hair)
Classification Based On Mode of Transmission
Based upon mode of transmission, these have been classified as:
Classification based on
Classification Based On Disease Patterns
Dermatophytosis
- Tinea pedis (athlete's foot) affects the feet
- Tinea unguium affects the fingernails and toenails
- Tinea corporis affects the arms, legs, and trunk
- Tinea cruris (jock itch) affects the groin area
- Tinea manuum affects the hands and palm area
- Tinea capitis affects the scalp
- Tinea barbae affects facial hair
- Tinea faciei (face fungus) affects the face
Other superficial mycoses (not classic ringworm, since not caused by dermatophytes)
- Tinea versicolor caused by Malassezia furfur
- Tinea nigra caused by Hortaea werneckii
- Tinea pseudoimbricata
- Majocchi granuloma
