Over 90% of cases of tinea capitis are caused by a species of fungus called Trichophyton tonsurans. Tinea corporis, however, is commonly caused by 2 fungal species, Trichophyton and Microsporum.

Fungal infections have become a major cause of death in cancer patients and transplant recipients. While many of the most serious systemic (blood stream) fungal infections are acquired in the hospital, the overall majority of fungal infections are contracted in the community. Fungi like to inhabit warm, moist, humid environments. One of the most common mycotic infections, Athlete's Foot, is a fungal infection of the feet because feet get hot and sweaty , producing an ideal environment for the growth of fungi. In the past 25 years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of fungal infections worldwide. This is due to two main factors: medical advances, such as organ transplants

Fungal Skin Infections Topics Dermatophyte Infections Yeast Infections Dermatophyte Infections (Ringworm) Infections caused by dermatophytesfungi that invade only dead tissues of the skin or its appendages (stratum corneum, nails, hair). Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, and Microsporum are most commonly involved, but clinical differentiation of dermatophytes is difficult. Transmission is usually from person to person or animal to person. Fomites are not usually responsible. Some dermatophytes produce only mild or no inflammation or immune reaction; in such cases, the organism may persist indefinitely, causing intermittent remissions and exacerbations of a gradually extending lesion with a scaling, slightly raised border. In other cases, infection may be acute, typically causing a sudden vesicular and bullous disease of the feet or an inflamed boggy lesion of the scalp (kerion) that results from a strong immune reaction to the fungus; such infection is usually followed by remission or cure. Diagnosis Diagnosis is made clinically according to site of infection and confirmed by direct microscopic examination of scales dissolved in a solution of potassium hydroxide or by culture, demonstrating the pathogenic fungus in scrapings of lesions (see also

There I contracted athlete's foot. This persisted for years and often was so bad that the raw flesh showed through and blisters formed on the balls of my feet. No ointment helped. I had to learn to live with the condition. A year after my introduction to the teachings of Bruno Gröning, in August 1987, the fungus had disappeared and has never returned.
