Preferred Label : Dermatophytosis;
ICD-11 definition : Dermatophytosis (tinea, ringworm) is a superficial infection of the skin, hair or
nails by dermatophyte fungi of the genera Trichophyton, Epidermophyton or Microsporum.
These fungi normally invade only the outer keratinous layer of the epidermis (stratum
corneum), the hair shaft and the nail. They count amongst the commonest infections
in man. Some species (e.g. Trichophyton rubrum) are essentially anthropophilic and
infect only man whereas others are zoophilic (e.g. Trichophyton verrucosum) but may
cause human infection from contact with infected animals.;
