Abstract
Classification of dermatophytes, infections caused by some 10 species of them isolated in the past and change of dermatophytoses since 1924 in Korea were briefly reviewed. Because, especially in recent years, infections due to zoophilic organisms have been noted to increase in frequency, a role of animals in human ringworm should be clarified. In addition, taking account of ever increasing international exchange of men and animals, care must be taken to detect and cope with an inflow of foreign species of fungi into our country.
