INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Tinea @entity3100 are due to @entity364 by dermatophytes. They are common in developing countries including Morocco. The objective of this study intended to describe the epidemiology, clinical and mycological profile of @entity3100 in Avicenna military hospital of Marrakech. @entity1 AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study over an 8-year period (from 1st January 2006  to 31st December 2013). All @entity1 targeted through this study presented to the laboratory with the suspicion of @entity3100 , they were under a detailed investigation with a careful mycological analysis; diagnosis of @entity3100 was established as the direct examination and/or the sampling proved positive. RESULTS: Of the 334  @entity1 investigated, 216  had a TC with an overall prevalence of 64.67%. The average age was 6  years. The M/F sex ratio was 0.55. The isolated dermatophytes were @entity14476 with 105  cases (63.26%), @entity12735 violaceum in 44  cases (26.51%), T.  mentographytes in 8  cases (4.81%), M.  langeronii in 5  cases (3.01%), @entity12735 in 3  cases (1.8%) and T.  schoenleinii in 1  case (0.61%). The contact with animals was found in 40% of cases and immunosupression in 3.47% of cases. We verify through our investigation that tineas predominate among school age @entity1 with a female predominance. The epidemiological profile of TC in our study is similar to that of other studies in Moroccan and Maghrebian countries investigations. CONCLUSION: The TC is relatively a mild @entity281 but can be confused with other dermatoses not easy to diagnose. For this reason, their treatment necessitates a mycological analysis.
