Dermatofitose do pé
CategoryDefinition
Dermatophytosis of the skin of the foot (tinea pedis). The lateral interdigital toe clefts are the most common initial site of infection. Longstanding infection with Trichophyton rubrum, the most commonly implicated organism in Europe and North America, characteristically causes dry scaling over the sole of the foot. Other species which regularly invade the skin of the foot include Epidermophyton floccosum and Trichophyton interdigitale.
