Dermatophytoses belong to the most frequent skin disorders together with eczematous diseases and crural ulcers both in outpatient and inpatient care. The diseases involve a wide range of population and it is necessary to pay attention also to prevention. They are important from epidemiologic perspective because they are more or less infective. Some persistent disease may warn us about a serious systemic disease (diabetes mellitus, disorders of immune system).
