Background and objective: Tinea is a global infection caused by fungi like Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton. Recurrent dermatophytosis is a long-lasting condition with flare-ups and remissions, affecting family members and close contacts. Causes remain unclear, but mechanisms explain chronicity and recurrences. The objective of the current study was to find out Occupational effect and recurrence of dermatophyte infection in a tertiary care Centre.Material and method:The study involved 404 patients suspected of having dermatophyte infections at Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, who were referred for clinical examination. The research received samples from December 2022 to January 2023, obtaining approval from both scientific and ethical committees.Result:In this research, a total of 404 cases suspected of having dermatophytosis were included. The study encompassed 204 (50.5%) females and 200 (49.5%) males. Among the 404 cases, 205 (50.7%) of the dermatophytes were successfully isolated, with 112 (54.6%) being Trichophyton rubrum, 92 (44.8%) being Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and 1 (0.48%) being Microsporum gypseum. A history of recurrence was observed in 35.9% of the patients. The majority of patients were homemakers, making up 25% of the group, followed by students at 15%, and farmers at 8%. Conclusion:India's dermatologists face increasing challenges with recurrent dermatophytosis, affecting homemakers and students. Common clinical types include tinea corporis and tinea cruris, necessitating lab tests for accurate treatment.
