Article information
En este trabajo se consideran equivalentes las denominaciones micosis superficiales y dermatomicosis. Éstas engloban, por tanto, todas las infecciones fúngicas de localización cutánea y cutaneomucosa. Las clasificamos según sus agentes etiológicos, y distinguimos 2 grandes apartados, según estén ocasionadas por levaduras o por hongos filamentosos. El primero comprende 2 grupos: las candidiasis, producidas por especies de género Candida, la piedra blanca, por Trichosporon spp., y la pitiriasis versicolor, por levaduras basidiosporadas lipofílicas, singularmente Malassezia globosa. El segundo apartado incluye a su vez 4 subgrupos: las dermatofitosis o tiñas, ocasionadas por hongos queratinofílicos que conocemos como dermatófitos, la piedra negra, por Piedraia hortae, la tinea nigra, por Hortaea werneckii, las infecciones dermatofitosis-like ocasionadas por Scytaldium dimidiatum y, por último, las infecciones, de localización ungueal en su mayor parte originadas por distintos mohos (Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Onychocola canadensis, Aspergillus spp., Fusarium spp., Alternaria spp., Acremonium spp., Curvularia spp.). Se aborda también la posición taxonómica del Regnum fungi en el marco de los seres vivos, y las características de sus taxones principales; se indica la situación en éstos de los hongos implicados como agentes etiológicos en las micosis superficiales.

Clasificación
In the present study the terms superficial mycoses and dermatomycoses are used as equivalents. These terms include, therefore, all cutaneous and mucocutaneous fungal infections. These are classified according to their etiological agents, distinguishing two main types, according to whether they are produced by yeast or by filamentous fungi. The first type includes 2 groups: candidiasis, produced by species of the Candida genus, white piedra, produced by Trichosporon spp, and tinea versicolor, produced by lipophilic basidiomycetous yeasts, especially Malassezia globosa. The second type includes 4 subgroups: the dermatophytoses or tineas, caused by keratinophilic fungi, known as dermatophytes, black piedra, produced by Piedraia hortae, tinea nigra, produced by Hortaea werneckii, dermatophytosis-like infections produced by Scytaldium dimidiatum and, lastly, infections with mainly ungual localization, caused by distinct molds (Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Oncychocola canadensis, Aspergillus spp, Fusarium spp, Alternaria spp, Acremonium spp, Curvularia spp¿). The taxonomic position of the Regnum fungi within the context of living organisms is also discussed, as well as the characteristics of its main taxa, and the situation of the fungi implicated as etiological agents in superficial mycoses within these taxa is indicated.
