Prominent isolated pathogens were the genus Candida [57.7%], genus Aspergillus [28.8%], Pseudomonas aeruginosa [26.7%] and coliforms [24.4%]. Dermatophytes scored 4.4% [Trichophyton rubrum]. There were 43 patents [95.5%] who presented with marked hyperkeratosis and maceration of the toe-webs involved. The tradition of the Emirati population of sitting cross-legged may, over time, induce in the toe-webs of overweight individuals a macerated pressure-reaction hyperkeratosis that is colonized by environmental germs. T. rubrum and T. mentagrophytes are uncommon in the Al-Ain environment and this may explain the rarity of dermatophytes in toe-web intertrigo in our study","Lestringant, G.G.||Saarinen, K.A.||Frossard, P.M.||Bener, A.||Ameen, A.M.","2001","38-45","EMHJ - Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, 7 (1-2), 38-45, 2001","en","Tinea Pedis::Tinea Pedis::600","Toes||Intertrigo||Islam||Obesity||Posture||Prevalence||Religion||Risk Factors","Etiology of toe-web disease in Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates: bacteriological and mycological studies","2014-06-17T10:55:59Z","2014-06-17T10:55:59Z","1020-3397","http://applications.emro.who.int/emhj/0701_2/2001_7_1-2_38_45.pdf","https://iris.who.int/handle/10665/118986"
