A four-year retrospective study on epidemiological updates of dermatophytosis in Kuwait [PDF]
BMC Infectious DiseasesDermatophytosis is a common superficial fungal infection caused by dermatophytes that infect keratinized tissues, including the skin, scalp, and nails. Dermatophytes are categorized into three groups: anthropophilic, zoophilic, and geophilic.

, 2018 Abstract Dermatophytes are unique in their ability to utilize keratin as a substrate, and this makes them the commonest cause of superficial skin, hair, and nail infection worldwide. They comprise three genera and more than 30 species, and species have evolved to be anthropophilic, zoophilic, or geophilic.
