Dermatophytosis constitutes a group of superficial fungal infections of the keratinized tissues like the epidermis, hair and nail. The word dermatophyte literally means “skin plant” (1). Dermatophytosis includes distinct clinical entities caused by members of the genera Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton.

Explanation:
Explanation:Dermatophytes cause infections of the skin, hair, and nails, obtaining nutrients from keratinized material.The organisms colonize the keratin tissues causing inflammation as the host responds to metabolic byproducts. Colonies of dematophytes are usually restricted to the nonliving cornified layer of the epidermis because of their inability to penetrate viable tissue of an immunocompetent host.
