Abstract
Tinea pedis is a superficial mycosis, unusual in children. Epidemiological and clinical data regarding cases of tinea pedis observed in children over a period of 20 years are discussed and some explanation given for the conditions which predisposed children to the infection. Clinical features are variable and similar to adults. Bullous lesions are more frequently seen in children. Most of the cases were seen in children over 10 years of age. Males are more often affected with tinea pedis: this is particularly true for 10 to 13 year-old children. As in adults, Trichophyton rubrum is the most frequently isolated etiological agent.Keywords
