Superficial fungal infections are common in Sabah. The skin clinic is a tertiary referral center for dermatological diseases in Sabah, and sees more than 7,000 cases of various skin complaints annually. The study analyses data collated from the skin clinic’s medical records as well as fungus culture results from the microbiology diagnostic unit. A total of 7325 subjects were screened for superficial mycoses. Of the 7,325 subjects sampled randomly, 180 (2.5 %) had lesions suggestive of superficial mycoses. In a total of 190 samples collected, [58.42%] yielded significant growth by culture. The distribution of superficial mycoses is dependent on age,sex and ethnicity. The most common isolate was Tinea corporis [30,63%], followed by Tinea cruris [23.62%], Tinea pedis [16.21%], T.unguium [20.72%],in onychomycoses, and T.capitis [6.30%] and others. A predominance of dermatomatophytoses in the 50 years and above age group was observed. In Sabah State the relative humidity fluctuates between 60 % and 70 % for most part of the year and the area receives heavy rain falls. Thus, the environmental conditions are conducive for development of superficial mycoses.
