Over a 17 yr period from 1966 to 1982, 4354 dermatophytes were identified at the Australian National Reference Laboratory in Medical Mycology. The most frequently identified species was Trichophyton rubrum, accounting for 35.3% of identifications, followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes (26.5%), Trichophyton tonsurans (12.8%), Epidermophyton floccosum (10.7%) and Microsporum canis (8.4%). Specimens taken from the feet were the most common source of the Trichophyton rubrum isolates, followed by specimens from the groin. The highest incidence of T. rubrum and other Trichophyton infections was found in males in the age group 21-30 yr. Microsporum species were most commonly isolated from children aged 10 yr or less. In 1.5% of specimens, more than one fungal species was isolated. In most of these instances a yeast (predominantly Candida species) was found in addition to a Trichophyton species.
