Background: The superficial cutaneous mycoses are usually confined to the outer layers of skin, hair, and nails, and do not invade living tissues. Dermatophytes and yeasts are the main pathogenic agents of these mycoses. In addition, some molds are mentioned as causative agents of these diseases. This study aimed to identify the cutaneous fungal species from 181 dermatophytosis patients in Hospital of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study was carried on 181 dermatophytosis patients with positive direct examination of fungal infection.These specimens were isolated on selective media for fungal etiologies. Identification of fungal etiologies were performed by morphology and certain biochemical reactions. Results: Dermatophytes were the most prevalent cutaneous fungal infection (90.6%), followed by yeasts (7.7%) and then non dermatophytes molds (1.7%). As the causative dermatophytes species, Trichophyton rubrum was the most frequently isolated pathogen (58.0%). T.rubrum and T.mentagrophytes were isolated from all the dermatophytosis clinical types. Candida sp and Trichosporon cutaneum were etiological agents of paronychia - onychomycosis. Fusarium sp. was pathogenic in onychomycosis and tinea corporis. Scopulariopsis sp. caused of onychomycosis. Conclusion: The highest rate of cutaneous fungal pathogens was anthropophilic dermatophytes, and followed by zoophilic dermatophytes. Candida albicans and Candida non albicans were found in paronychia - onychomycosis patients. In addition some nondermatophyte mold infections were found in both of skin and nail.
