This study was made to investigate the present status of cutaneous candidiasis clinically and mycologically.
We surveyed out-patients of Dermatclogy clinic of Sung-Sim Hospital, College of Medicine, Chung-Ang University, during 5 years from 1975 to 1979.
The results were as followed;
1. The incidence of cutaneous candidiasis was 1.2%O of total 23, 537 out-patients and showed a tendency to be annually increased in number.
2. The ratio of male to female was 1. 5 : 1 clinically and 1. 9 : 1 mycologically.
3. The highest incidence clinically was under the 10 years old group, mycologically in the 3rd-4th decade group.
4. The monthly prevalence of cutaneous candidiasis was high in July, August and September.
5. The positive rate of KOH examination was 65.8% of cutaneous candidiasis and 61.9% of other dermatophytoses.
6. Fungi were cultured from 56.6% of 152 scrapings of cutaneous candidiasis and 36.8% of other dermatophytoses. Each rate includes 65% of positive KOH, 40.4% of negative KOH in cutaneous candidiasis, and 45. 8% of positive KOH, 22.2% of negative KOH in other dermatophytoses.
7. 84 strains of C. albicans were isolated in cutaneous candidiasis and 280 strains in other dermatophytoses, totally 364 strains.
