To determine fungal species distribution of interdigital intertrigo among seafarers in Dakar, Senegal, a cross-sectional study was carried out from May to August 2017 among seafarers clinically diagnosed with interdigital intertrigo. A questionnaire was filled to each patient before sampling the affected folds and transporting to Aristide Le Dantec University Hospital where mycological analyses were realized. Species identification by MALDI-TOF MS was performed in Marseille, France. In total, 169 men (21–66 years) were included. Few of them (3%) had a high level of education and the duration of the mycosis exceed 10 years for 88% of patients. Direct microscopic examination (ME) was positive in 34.3%. Among samples with positive ME, 58.6% had positive culture. An overall incidence of 30.2% was found. Patients with confirmed cases aged between 28 and 66 years. Among them, those between 36–50 years were predominant (52.9%). Those with a high level of education were less representative (2%). For 52.1% of patients, the duration of the mycosis was superior to 10 years. Furthermore, 57% of cases were significantly associated with other types of tinea pedis and/or onychomycosis (P = 0.03). Culture was positive in 23.7% isolating 43 strains successfully identified at the species level by MALDI-TOF MS for 31 isolates: 20 Candida and 11 dermatophytes. The rest was identified only at the genus level belonged to Fusarium. In definitive, MALDI-TOF MS could be a useful tool for routine and fast identification of dermatophytes, yeasts and NDFF in clinical mycology laboratories.

为了确定塞内加尔达喀尔海员之间叉指间真菌的真菌种类分布，于2017年5月至2017年8月对临床诊断为叉指间真菌的海员进行了横断面研究。在对受影响的褶皱取样并运送到阿里斯蒂德·勒·丹特克大学医院之前，已向每位患者填写了调查表，在那里进行了真菌学分析。通过MALDI-TOF MS进行的物种鉴定是在法国马赛进行的。总共包括169名男性（21-66岁）。他们中很少有人（3％）受过高等教育，88％的患者的霉菌病病程超过10年。直接显微镜检查（ME）阳性的占34.3％。在ME阳性的样本中，有58.6％的阳性培养。发现总发病率为30.2％。确诊病例的患者年龄在28至66岁之间。在这些人群中，以36至50岁为主要人群（52.9％）。受过较高教育的人代表较少（2％）。对于52.1％的患者，真菌病的持续时间优于10年。此外，57％的病例与其他类型的足癣和/或灰指甲明显相关（P  = 0.03）。通过MALDI-TOF MS在物种水平成功鉴定出43种菌株的23.7％分离株中培养阳性，其中包括31种分离株：20念珠菌和11种皮肤真菌。其余的仅在属于镰刀菌属的属水平上被鉴定。最终，MALDI-TOF MS可能是临床真菌学实验室常规和快速鉴定皮肤真菌，酵母菌和NDFF的有用工具。
