Background: Dermatophytosis is a common infection caused by superficial filament fungi that affects the skin, nails, and hair. It holds global importance, especially for countries located in tropical and subtropical regions.
Objective : identify of dermatophytes species by Conventional PCR method using ITS1 and ITS4 primer.
Methods: cross-sectional study conducted at the dermatology clinic at Imamein Kadhimein Medical City in Baghdad between 22th /January /2024 to 29 /July/2024, the specimens were obtained from all participants, and a potassium hydroxide (KOH) test, cultured on Sabouraud's dextrose agar and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was utilized to for identification and identification of the dermatophyte species.
