초록

Background: Tinea faciei is a superficial dermatophyte infection on non-bearded skin of face. It is often confused with other dermatoses. Tinea faciei accounts for 3~4% of cases of tinea corporis. There have been only a few reports on the clinical and mycological features of tinea faciei. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the demographic, clinical, and mycological features of tinea faciei in Daegu, Korea. Methods: The medical records of 56 cases with tinea faciei from the Daegu catholic university medical center and Catholic skin clinic from January 2013 to December 2014 were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The incidence was highest at 6th decade age group. The most frequent occupation of patients was agro-livestock area. Among 56 cases, the lesions were round patches in 40 cases (71.5%), followed by ring-shaped patches in 8 cases (25.0%) and plaques in 2 cases (3.5%). The most commonly isolated organism was Trichophyton rubrum (79.2%). Conclusions: Tinea faciei could easily be misdiagnosed clinically due to its abnormal presentation. When facing erythematous patches on face, physician should be aware of tinea faciei and undergo careful history taking with mycological study.
