The issues of skin and mucosal mycoses in children differ from those in adults. Onychomycosis, a frequent disease in adults, is rare in
childhood. The incidence of tinea pedis increases with age, being high in puberty and later. Tinea corporis in our country is caused
mainly by zoophilic dermatophytes such as Microsporum canis and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Tinea capitis is a dermatophytosis
specific for children.
