DIAGNÓSTICO LABORATORIAL DE DERMATOFITOSES NO MUNICÍPIO DE CUITÉ-PB, BRASIL

Abstract

As pesquisas sobre dermatofitoses nas cidades da Paraiba sao insuficientes, com isso, o presente estudo objetivou verificar a prevalencia destas micoses superficiais em pacientes atendidos no hospital municipal Nossa Senhora das Merces, no municipio de Cuite-PB. No periodo de marco a agosto de 2013, amostras de escamas de pele, pelo e/ou unhas foram coletadas no hospital e encaminhadas ao Laboratorio de Microbiologia da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, para analise micromorfologica, mediante exame direto com hidroxido de potassio (KOH) a 20%, e posteriormente, parte da amostra foi cultivada em agar mycosel, para isolamento e identificacao fungica. Foram analisadas amostras de 31 pacientes com suspeita clinica de dermatofitose, obtendo-se 19,35% casos positivos. A faixa etaria dos pacientes diagnosticados foi de 3 a 47 anos, dos quais tres foram homens e tres mulheres. As lesoes mais frequentes foram no tronco anterior, unhas e pes, tendo uma incidencia de 33,3% cada. Microsporum canis foi o dermatofito mais isolado com 33,3%. O trabalho, alem de ter contribuido para o estudo epidemiologico das micoses superficiais no municipio, permitiu uma melhor orientacao terapeutica pelo corpo clinico do hospital.
