Isolasi dan Identifikasi Spesies Dermatophyta Penyebab Dermatofitosis Pada Santri Pondok Pesantren Al-Muslimun Bandar Seikijang Kabupaten Pelalawan Provinsi Riau
Dermatophytes causing dermatophytosis are fungi that produces the enzyme keratinase to degrade keratin in the stratum corneum of the skin, nails, and hair resulting in superficial mycosis. The emergence of dermatophytes can be caused by several factors, including humidity, temperature, personal hygiene, and environmental density. Several dermatophyte species identified as causing dermatophytosis are Tricophyton rubrum, Tricophyton mentagrophites, Microsporum canis, and Microsporum gypseum. This study was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. This study was conducted from May to July 2024 on students in Pondok Pesantren (Boarding School) Al-Muslimum, Kecamatan Bandar Seikijang, Pelalawan Regency, Riau Province. This study used 10% KOH solution to identify the presence of dermotophyta, Saboroud Dextrose Agar (SDA) culture, and lactophenol blue solution to identify the species of dermatophyta. The results showed that 27 (7.9%) students were positive for dermatophytosis, consisting of tinea corporis in 12 (44.4%) students, tinea cruris in 8 (29.7%) students, tinea pedis in 6 (22.2%) students, and tinea faciei in 1 (3.7%) student. Moreover, 18 students were accompanied by Tricophyton rubrum species, Tricophyton mentagrophites in 4 students, Microsporum canis in 4 students, and Microsporum gypseum in 1 student. Species Tricophyton concentricum and Epidermophyton floccosum were not found in any students.
