Abstract

Some keratinophilic fungi are a potential pathogen of warm-blooded animals and cause superficial cutaneous infections (dermatophytoses) of keratinized tissues (skin, hair and nails). Climatic conditions of Balaghat (sub-tropical zone, south-east of M. P. , Bharat) heavy rained-1440mm, high-tempretured 30�C-45�C are favorable for fungal growth and infection. In our survey of Balaghat city Specially Moti Talab area 143 patient�s skin, nail and hair samples are collected from visiting the hospitals, schools and other localities. Out of 143 samples, 105 persons have keratinophilic fungal infections. As per overall human patient sampling, ~73.43 % of the population recorded to be positive for keratinophilic fungi.
