Zusammenfassung:	The present study determined the extent and causative agents of dermatophytoses in Esfahan, a large city of Iran. Specimens from patients were examined for etiologic agents by direct microscopic procedure and by culture. Out of 12,000 patients with skin diseases, 10.8% were affected with dermatophytoses. Among the 10.8% group, lesions of tinea capitis were most common (72.1%) and Trichophyton verrucosum was the most frequent (43.8%) dermatophyte isolated from the patients. We found a relationship between the spread of dermatophytoses and live-stock infected with dermatophytoses.
