Abstract
We examined 68 patients (12. 4% new patients) between July and September 1996. The number of males was not significantly different compared to the number of females. The incidence of tinea was the highest in patients with dermatophytosis, especially tinea pedes(47.3%). The cultured spe-cies of tinea mainly showed Trichophyton rubrum and T, mentagrophytes (75%). In 1994 and 1995, we examined 64 patients with herpes simplex, 20 males and 44 females. They showed 2 high peaks of age distribution, at 20-30 years and 50-60 years of age. In cases of herpes zoster, the number of female patients was higher than male patients. The highest region distribution occurred on the trigeminal lesion. Complications of malignant tumors occurred in 6.2% (8 patients).
