Zusammenfassung. Im Jahrzehnt 1981‐1990 war Trichophyton rubrum der häufigste Erreger von Dermatophytosen in Nordgriechenland, insbesondere von Tinea pedum, inguinalis, corporis, unguium und Tinea manuum. Beim Befall der Füße und Zehennägel war das weibliche Geschlecht bevorzugt betroffen. Männer hatten Effloreszenzen häufiger im Inguinalbereich, an den Händen und im Gesicht. Frauen zeigten auch chronische follikulär‐noduläre Dermatophytosen in der Schienbeinregion. Bei Tinea corporis und Tinea unguium der Fingernägel gab es keine bedeutenden Differenzen zwischen den Geschlechtern. In der Studie wurden das Alter der Patienten, die Art der Entzündungsreaktion und die Morphetypen der T. rubrum ‐Isolate berücksichtigt. Summary. During the years 1981–1990 Trichophyton rubrum was the most frequent causative agent of dermatophytic infections in Northern Greece, especially in cases of tinea pedis, cruris, corporis, and unguium, as well as dermatophytosis of the hands. Between sexes there was a prevalence in women in tinea pedis and toenail infections. Men were particularly infected in the groin, the hands and the face. The chronic follicular dermatophytosis in the lower legs was also presented in women, but tinea corporis and fingernail infections showed no significant differences between the sexes. Also studied were the age of the patients, the inflammatory component of the lesions and the morphotypes of T. rubrum isolated.
