ABSTRACT
\n<\/b><\/span>Systematic study of superficial fungal infection began more than 150 years ago when Remark\u00a0described the mycelial nature of the clinical disease favus. In 1841, Gruby isolated the organism of\u00a0favus in culture and experimentally reproduced the disease with inoculation in normal skin. However,\u00a0it was not until 1910 that Raymond Saboraud published his seminal treatise, Les Tiegnes, classifying\u00a0the dermatophytes into four genera based on their microscopic and clinical characteristics. In 1934,\u00a0Emmons’ critical review of dermatophyte taxonomy resulted in the three genera known today:\u00a0Epidermophyton, Microsporum, andTrichophyton.<\/span>1<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n
