Abstract

Background and Objective: Dermatophytes are fungi that parasitize keratin-rich components like skin, hair, and nails, causing a dermal inflammatory reaction that includes acute itching and cosmetic deformity. Eastern India's climate is generally hot and humid, with heavy rains that promote fungal infection. This study was conducted to find the prevalence of dermatophytosis and to isolate and classify the dermatophyte from clinically suspected cases attending tertiary care hospital.
