About this document
Understanding Dermatophytosis Causes by Farizky Dwitia is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Ringworm is caused by dermatophyte fungi that can use keratin, a key component of skin and nails, as a food source. These fungi do not invade living tissue but rather colonize the outer stratum corneum layer, triggering an inflammatory allergic reaction in the host. Dermatophytes have evolved to rely on infecting humans and animals for survival and spreading to new hosts.
