- Dermatophytes
- Fungal organisms that cause Tinea
- Includes three genera: Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton
III. Conditions: Tinea
- Children
- Tinea Capitis (scalp infection)
- Tinea Corporis (Ringworm)
- Tinea Faciale (facial infection)
- Adolescents and adults
- Tinea Manum (Hand Infection)
- Tinea Pedis (Athlete's Foot)

IV. Conditions: Other Cutaneous Fungal Infections
V. Management: Pearls
- Limit Nystatin use to Cutaneous Candidiasis (not effective against Tinea Infections)
- Butenafine (Lotrimin) and Terbinafine (Lamasil) are preferred topical agents for tinea
- Avoid oral Ketoconazole due to hepatotoxicity
- Avoid combination agents containing Antifungals with high-potency Corticosteroids
- Dilutes the Antifungal concentration and may exacerbate the fungal infection

Ontology: Tinea (C0040247)
| Definition (MSH) | Fungal infection of keratinized tissues such as hair, skin and nails. The main causative fungi include MICROSPORUM; TRICHOPHYTON; and EPIDERMOPHYTON. |
| Definition (MEDLINEPLUS) |
Tinea is the name of a group of diseases caused by a fungus. Types of tinea include ringworm, athlete's foot and jock itch. These infections are usually not serious, but they can be uncomfortable. You can get them by touching an infected person, from damp surfaces such as shower floors, or even from a pet. Symptoms depend on the affected area of the body:
Over-the-counter creams and powders will get rid of many tinea infections, particularly athlete's foot and jock itch. Other cases require prescription medicine. |

| Definition (CSP) | general term describing various dermatophytoses; specific types include tinea capitis (ringworm of the scalp), tinea favosa (of scalp and skin), tinea pedis (athlete's foot), and tinea unguium (ringworm of the nails). |
