Dermatofitose (tinha, micose) é uma infecção superficial de pele, cabelo ou unhas por fungos dermatófitos dos gêneros Trichophyton, Epidermophyton ou Microsporum. Esses fungos normalmente invadem apenas a camada queratinizada mais externa da epiderme (estrato córneo), a haste do cabelo e a unha. Estão entre as infecções mais comuns no homem. Algumas espécies (p.ex., Trichophyton rubrum) são essencialmente antropofílicas e infectam apenas o homem, enquanto outras são zoofílicas (p.ex., Trichophyton verrucosum), mas podem causar infecção humana pelo contato com animais infectados | |||
