Among the 79 specimens, 56 strains of candida species were identified by KOli mount, Sabourauds dextrose agar culture, sugar assimilation test, sugar fermentation test a.nd corn meal agar with Tween 80 culture. Following results were obtained. 1. The incidence of cutaneous candiasis was l. 6A (79 cases among 4, 963 outpatients). 2. The cutaneous candidiasis was more frequent in fcmale than in male(1: 1. 7) 3.

Thrush, diaper candidiasis and candidal intertrigo were common during first. decade, and candidal paronychia and candidal onychia were common during third decade. 6, Positive rate on KOH mount was 60. 8% Nail (38. 5%) and periungal area (42.9%) should low positive rate. 7. Positive culture rate on Sabourauds dextrose agar of Candida species was 70. 9% (56 cases). 8 Candida species isolated from cutaneous lesions were Candida albicans (52 case) and Candida trapicalis(2 cases).
