Due to Various Fungi
By l.OGAN CLENDEMNG, M. I)
• It seems strange that with al
the talk we hear nowadays aboul
athlete's foot and ringworm ο
the skin, that the whole idea that
these skin eruptions could bi
caused by some form of fungus
was introduced into the Uniteii
{ States as late as l'JIG, but I find
j'. from an article by Dr. Oliver S,
''jQimsby that he says that ring
'*'t>rm of the hands and feet was
practically unknown until 191(i
phen he and Mitchell reported a
fewiti of sixtjr-fiye patients in all
W Whom fungi were demonstrated

Bw' questions of general interest

fiji' his column.
j microscopically. Before that, these
ι eruptions were supposed to be the
1 disturbances of the sweat gland
j functions, and sometimes were
! just called eczema.
Cause of Ring Worm
! A great deal of work has been
l· done since then, and it has been
J· found that any region of the skin
'not the foot alone) can be in
j, fee ted by ring\yo,im. The cause of
Si nagworm i« a sort of fungus, a
] looking plant which in
|j' rîr4ta^. the lower layers of the
■· P-:r 11 deserves the nick-name
athlete's foot," because common
suirres of the infection are dress
11 ' .ns and shower baths in the
*'· ■'■tic departments of schools,
end in athletic and country clubs.
At the University of California
at the beginning of the school
year a group of 3,000 freshmen
Were examined. l''ifty-one per
••'cut had ringworm of the fiot.
At the end of the first semester
''venty-eight per cent of them had
r'ngworm of the foot, an increase
W twenty-seven per c«nt. From
I the feet, owing to scratching, the
! finger nails become infected ami
! tlius carry the fungus tu many
j parts of the body.
Treatment
Treatment is not so simple as
some people would have you be
lieve. There are many varieties
of the fungus anil some of them
respond to one fungicide and oth
ers to others. In the acute stage,
with secondary infection, a one
to two thousand solution of po
tassium permanganate used once
or twice daily is effective. The
old reliable Whitfield's Ointment
is dependent largely on salicylic
acid for its effectiveness and is
probably the best all-around prep
aration.
Tincture of iodine arid mercurti
chrome will be used on other cases.
When secondary infection occurs,
where the organisms really dig in,
treatment may tax the ingenuity
of the best dermatologist, and cer
tainly at this stage the derma
tologist, rather than home treat
ment, should be brought ;n.
