Superficial mycoses by Dermatophytes show widespread involvement of population at large, particularly in the tropical and subtropical countries like India. The clinical presentation, though very typical of ringworm infection, is often confused with other skin disorders, making laboratory diagnosis and confirmation necessary. Skin, nail and hair specimens taken from a total of one hundred and five clinically diagnosed randomly selected patients of dermatophytosis attending the outpatient department, HSK Hospital and Research Centre, Bagalkot , (North Karnataka, India) were subjected to routine microbiological examination (potassium hydroxide preparation (KOH) for direct microscopy and culture) for clinicoetiological correlation of the fungal infection in the study samples. Fungi were demonstrated in 74 cases (70.48%) either by KOH and/or culture. Most common clinical presentation was found to be tinea corporis (44.8%) followed by tinea cruris (18.09%) and the aetiological agents isolated were T. rubrum (51.35%) followed by T. mentagrophyte (43.24%) and E. floccosum (5.4%).
