Epidemiological Survey Of Onychomycosis In Jilin Province In2011

Objective:Investigate the species and distribution of pathogenic fungi in patientswith onychomycosis in jilin province, to guide the clinical work and promotethe curative effect for the future.Methods:Clinical data and result of cultivation of the100outpatient withonychomycosis whose direct microscopic examination were positive during2011.3to2012.2in the Second Hospital of Jilin University were analyzed bySPSS software.Results:Clinical types:DLSO(60.1%) were the most frequent clinical types,followed by TDO(26.3%), SWO(11.5%)and PSO(2.1%).Fifty-one strains ofpathogenic fungi were isolated, The dermatophytes were dominant species inall Pathomycetes of onychomycosis(54.9%),followed by yeasts(43.1%) andGeomyces sp.(2%).Conclusion:1. The most frequent pathogenic fungus of onychomycosis in jilinprovince were dermatophytes, and trichophyton rubrum strains occupy firstduring it. The amount of yeast fungus increase obviously.2. The clinical types of onychomycosis in jilin province were includeDLSO, TDO, SWO and PSO. The DLSO was the dominant type in all and thesecond was TDO.3.The morbidity of toe nail was obviously higher than the finger nail’s.4. The morbidity of infected nails in thumb and hallux were higher than others.5.The morbidity was high in young people and elder people,and thediversity of morbidity of man and woman was not obvious.6.Through the identification made by the First Hospital of BeijingUniversity, we acquired a new strain named Geomyces sp.,and we still need todeeply investigate the pathogenicity of it.
