The authors performed clinical and mycological studies on Tines cruris of 842 outpatients who had visited the dermatology clinic of Seoul National University Hospital from 1975 to 1979. 1) The incidence of Tines cruris was 4.4% in maximum and 3.0% in minimum of the total superficial mycotic diseases cases, so there are no remarkable changes of the yearly prevalence rate. 2) Tines cruris was more frequent among males, and the male cases were 15% times higher than those of female cases. 3) By the monthly distribution, Tines cruris shows most high in summer season (June, July and August). 4) The age distribution group for Tines cruris varied from the first to the eighth decade, but most of them were in their third decade. 5) Concurrent infection of Tines cruris with other types of dermatophytoses(Tinea) was noted in 19.0% of the cases. Patients with Tines cruris and Tines pedis were most highly obseraed in 51.3% and on next. Tines cruris and Tines corporis 25.6% in all of the concurrent infection cases. 6) The strains were identified by culture on ordinary Sabouraud´s glucose agar media and abtained three species and 99 strains. a) Trichophyton rubrum was most common causative organism of Tines cruris. Trichophyton rubrum was isolated 64 strains (64.6%). b) Trichophyton mentagrophytes was isolated 27 stains(27.3%) and Epidermophyton floccosum was 8 strains(8.1%).
