Abstract

Antagonism between cell-mediated immunity and humoral immunity that develops in atopic patients may be correlated with susceptibility of those patients to dermatophytoses. One hundred and one patients were included in this study from September 2002 to September 2003 to discover the association between atopy and dermatophytoses. The atopic status of patients did not act as a predisposing factor for different types of dermatophytoses, but it increased the susceptibility of such infections to become chronic rather than acute.
