Sažetak

The aim of our investigation was to compare incidences of dermatomycoses in two periods. The first period was immediately after the war (1995-2000) and the second was the later period (2001-2006). This was a retrospective study carried out in Karlovac General Hospital from 1995-2006 with 1,674 patient clinically suspected for mycosis. In the period immediately after the war, out of a total number of 60,571 patients positive results were obtained in 263 (0.43%), while in the later period, out of a total number of 88,407 patients 301 (0.34%) were positive. The incidence on 100,000 inhabitants was in the first period 185.49, and in the second period 212.29. This difference was not statistically significant. The difference
according to gender and period was also not statistically significant.
The incidence on 100,000 inhabitants of Trichophyton mentagrophytes in the first period was 81.11, in the second period 95.21. Microsporum canis incidence was 49.37 in the first period and 66.29 in the second period. The incidence of Canida spp. in the period immediately after the war was 38.05 and in later period it
was 42.25.There were no statistically significant differences in neither of these species according to periods.
In the conclusion we emphasize that there were no changes in incidence of dermatomycoses in our area, there were no significant changes in the causative species but there were changes in the mycoses localization during the observed periods.
