“…M. canis is considered a zoophilic species, so its high prevalence is related to contact with infected animals, especially dogs, cats and rodents (RODRIGUES et al, 2008;HAWKINS;SMIDT, 2014;SILVA et al, 2019), while the presence of T. rubrum, as one of the main agents of dermatophytosis, is also observed in other studies (FIGUE-IREDO et al, 2015;SILVA et al, 2018).…”

Introduction: dermatophytoses or “tineas” are characterized by being mycoses caused by fungi of the genera Epidermophyton, Trichophyton and Microsporum. These mycotic infections can present themselves as a form of lesions that affect the skin, hair and ails of individuals of both genders and all ages. Objective: to elucidate the epidemiological profile of dermatophytoses in patients examined by a private clinical analysis laboratory in João Pessoa-PB, between 2015 and 2019. Methodology: this is an epidemiological, analytical, retrospective and documentary study, in which data collection took place at the Clinical Pathology Laboratory – “HEMATO”, located in João Pessoa – PB. Results: the profile of those affected was predominantly female (58.5%), 18 to 59 years old (38.4%), white (53.6%) and with lesions, mainly in skin glabrous (38.5%), feet (33.3%) and nails (12.8%). When relating the age group to the injury site, it was noticed that injuries on glabrous skin, feet and nails, were more frequent in individuals aged 18 to 59 years, while injuries to the scalp were mostly found in individuals younger than 18 years old. The most prevalent species were M. canis (31.9%) and T.rubrum (31.9%). When correlating the fungal species with the lesion site, it was noted that M. canis was the main agent responsible for lesions in glabrous skin, scalp and hands, while T. rubrum was predominantly observed in nails and T. mentagrophytes in feet. Conclusion: it is concluded that the data present in this research can promote the development of indicators and public policies for the population most susceptible to dermatophytosis.

Dermatophytoses are superficial infections that are characterized by the involvement of skin, hair and nails, presenting fungi of the genus Microsporum as important causes of these diseases. Thus, the present study aimed to conduct a literature review on the genus Microsporum, highlighting the possible dermatophytoses that species of this genus can cause, as well as epidemiological, pathogenic, immunological characteristics, the diagnosis and the pharmacological treatment currently employed. M.canis and M.gypseum has been presented as the main species of the genus Microsporum from a clinical-epidemiological point of view, with a predominance of dermatophytoses associated with M. canis. It is observed that fungi of this genus mainly cause tinea capitis and tinea corporis, so that the diagnosis can be of the clinical type, through the analysis of the lesions and, above all, laboratory through microscopy using potassium hydroxide (KOH) for the elucidation of fungal structures. For the infection to occur, the acidity of the skin becomes important, in addition, the immune response has been associated with Toll Like Receptors. Pharmacological treatment can be done with allylamines, azoles or griseofulvin, in which resistance phenomena have already been associated with these drugs. Thus, the data present in this research can guide other studies that focus on fungi of the genus Microsporum.
