Abstract

A hundred-thirty elderly individuals, who were over 65 years old, were examined in order to determine the frequency of superficial mycotic infections. Tinea pedis, onychomycosis, intertrigo and tinea inguinalis were found at rates of 17.6 %, 13.8 %, 1.5 % and 0.7 %, respectively. As causative agents, Trichophvton rubrum and Trichophvton mentaarophvtes from dermatophytes, and Candida krusei. Candida tropicalis. Candida albicans and Trichosporon spp. from yeasts were isolated. It was concluded that the frequency of superficial mycotic infections in elderly was higher when compared with the control group.

Özet

Yaşlılarda yüzey el mantar infeksiyonu sıklığını belirlemek amacı ile yapılan çalışmada 65 yaşın üzerinde 130 sağlıklı kişi incelendi ve % 17.6 oranında tinea pedis, % 13.8 oranında onikomikoz, % 1.5 oranında intertrigo ve % 0.7 oranında da tinea inguinalise rastlandı. Etken olarak dermatofitlerden Trichophyton rubrum ve Trichophvton mentagrophytes: mayalardan Candida krusei. Candida tropicalis. Candida albicans ve Trichosporon spp. soyutlandı. Kontrol grubu ile kıyaslandığında yaşlılarda yüzeyel mantar infeksiyonu sıklığının arttığı gözlendi.
