Superficial Fungal Infections of the Skin

This book is dedicated to superficial fungal infections of the skin, commonly encountered and treatable conditions in daily dermatologic practice. While most infections are straightforward, they can present atypically in immunocompromised patients. These infections remain a significant cause of morbidity worldwide, particularly in developing regions. The text is structured to provide a practical, clinically relevant guide, covering both the normal skin flora and a wide spectrum of superficial fungal infections, highlighting variations in presentation across different age groups and patient populations.
