oses. Tinea manus was 0.1% of total 10,396 out-patients and 8.2% of superficial dermatophytoses.
2. The ratio of male to female in tinea pedis was 1. 2 : 1 and tinea manus was 1 : 1. 6 clinically. 3. The incidence of tinea pedis and tinea manus was high in third to fifth decade group.
4. The monthly prevalence of tinea pedis and tinea manus was high in June, July, August and September.
5. Coexisting fungal infection with tinea pedis were tinea cruris;134 patients(46. 1 %), tinea manus; 74
patients (25.2%) and onychomycosis; 54 patients (18.6%). In tinea manus were tinea pedis; 74 patients
(68.6%), onychomycosis; 21 patients(19.4%) and tinea cruris; 8 patients (7.4%).
