SUMMARY.— A study of 376 cases of tinea cruris in Karachi is reported. The incidence was low under the age of 15, maximal from 20–25 with a gradual decline thereafter. Two hundred and twenty-six cases or 60%, were caused by Trichophyton rubrum, 117 or 31%, by Epidermophyton floccosum. T. mentogrophytes, T. violaceum and T. tonsurans accounted for the remaining 9%. The high incidence of T. rubrum contrasts with reports from elsewhere in the world. Negligence of treatment in the low income groups was one factor responsible for the prolongation of infection.
