dc.description.abstract | Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) is a common fungal infection of the feet with the major causative organisms being Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Epidermophyton floccosum1. It occurs worldwide, with a greater frequency and severity during the warmer months of the year. The condition is most prevalent in adult men, especially in the presence of excessive perspiration and occlusive footwear2. Transmission may be direct, from person to person, or indirect via infected skin scales on towels, shoes, socks, and floors, particularly in communal showers2 . These conditions tend to favour recurrence of the infection. | en_GB |
