Athlete's foot, also called tinea pedis, fungal infection of the feet, a form of ringworm.
Tinea pedis is commonly referred to as athlete's foot, which may be of either the dry or inflammatory type.
Invasions in those parts of the human anatomy are responsible for scalp ringworm (tinea capitis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and athlete's foot (tinea pedis), respectively.
The superficial mycotic infections are generally not serious and include such well-known disorders as athlete's foot (tinea pedis), caused by the dermatophyte Trichophyton.
In the older child, tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp), tinea corporis (ringworm of the body), and tinea pedis (athlete's foot) are all common superficial fungal infections.
In order to investigate its antimicrobial activity, main kinds of tinea pedis pathogen were selected.
Swimmers are also particularly vulnerable to other common skin infections such as molluscum contagiosum ("water warts"), tinea pedis ("athlete's foot"), and plantar warts [74].
The aim of this article was to prepare a topical powder for the treatment of fungal infections, such as Candida intertrigo and tinea pedis.
Tinea pedis, known as Athlete's foot, is a common fungal infection of the feet, the majority of cases caused by dermatophytes.
Standardized Tinea pedis model in Wistar rats exhibited in vivo antifungal efficacy of optimized formulation, observed in terms of physical manifestations, fungal-burden score and histopathological profiles.
Trichophyton rubrum (T. rubrum) and Trichophyton mentagrophytes (T. mentagrophytes) are main tinea pedis pathogen (Koltin and Hitchcock 1997), Candida albicans (C. albicans) is opportunistic fungus pathogen (Cotter and Kavanagh 2000).
