سعفة الفروة هي خمج الفروة بالفطور السطحية، ينتج عن الفطور الجلدية و بشكل أساسي جنسي البويغاء و الشعروية. و هي مرض يصيب بشكل خاص الأطفال قبل سن البلوغ، كما أنه أكثر شيوعاً عند الذكور من الإناث، و تتبدل العوامل المرضية المسببة له من منطقة إلى أخرى كما يمكن أن تتغير في المنطقة نفسها بمرور الوقت. هدفت الدراسة إلى تحديد أكثر الأنواع الفطرية شيوعاً المسؤولة عن سعفات الفروة عند الأطفال المراجعين في مشفى الأمراض الجلدية و الزهرية بدمشق.
Tinea capitis (TC) is a common superficial fungal infection of the scalp caused by dermatophytes, mainly by the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum.It is primarily a disease of prepubertal children, being more common in males than females . The etological factors vary from one region to another and can change within a particular region over time. This study aim to identify the The most common fungal species which are responsible for producing TC in children seen in Dermatology and Veneral Diseases Hospital in Damascus.

Background& Objective: Onychomycosis is a frequent nail disease caused by dermatophytes, yeasts, and
non-dermatophyte molds. Far more than being a simple cosmetic problem, infected nail serves as a
chronic reservoir, which can give rise to repeated
mycotic infections.
This study aim to identify the common fungal species which are responsible for onychomycosis in
clinically suspected patients of onychomycosis in Dermatology and Venereal Diseases Hospital in
Damascus between October 2010 and July 2011.
Materials & Methods: Both direct microscopy and culture of the nail material were performed to identify
the causative fungi of onychomycosis.
Results: Culture positivity was obtained in 65 of the 76 clinically suspected samples, etiological fungal
agents were (%61.5) dermatophytes, (24.6%) yeasts, and (13.9 %) non-dermatophyte molds . The isolated
fungal species were (43.1%) Trichophyton Rubrum and (16.9%) T. Interdigitale (1.5%) T.Verrucosum
Aspergillus Versicolor which was the most frequent non dermatophyte molds. Females were affected in
fingernails more frequently than males, while males were affected in toenails more frequently than
females, and in both sexes those most infected were between 20-40 years of age.
Conclusion: Dermatophytes, in particular T. rubrum, but also T. Interdigitale, are the most frequently
isolated causative agents in onychomycosis in patients seen in Dermatology and Venereal Diseases
Hospital in Damascus . In addition, yeasts may be isolated relatively frequently, while molds are
uncommon.
In this study the total of ٤١٥ cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis was evaluated
from Dermatology hospital and General clinic in Damascus from February
٢٠٠١ to February ٢٠٠٢. Most of these cases was reported in Damascus and its
suburb, and when we ma
de the direct microscopic test, amastigotes were
detectable in ٢٧١ cases, and the positive cases was increased to ٣٦٤ cases by
realizing the parasite culture into diphasic N. N. N. media, which confirm the
diagnosis.
Tinea capitis is a common fungal infection of the scalp. The
purpose of this study was to determine the percentage of the spread
of tinea capitisin Damascus and determine the type of this tinea
capitis and lasted between 2011 and 2015.

psychological stress resulting from stressful life events and the
level of psychosomatic disorder and emotional and physical aspects
in Cornell scale. The study also aims to determine
the differences
in the level of psychological stress among a sample of patients with
certain skin diseases according to gender and age variables.
