Athlete's foot is a fungal infection of the skin that causes scaling, flaking, and itch of affected areas. It is caused by fungi in the genus Trichophyton and is typically transmitted in moist areas where people walk barefoot, such as showers or bathhouses. Although the condition typically affects the feet, it can spread to other areas of the body, including the groin. Athlete's foot can be treated by a number of pharmaceutical and other treatments.
腳氣,也就是足癬(Tinea Pedis),中國有俗名稱為爛腳丫,腳氣瘡,還有一個特別的稱謂,叫香港腳。香港腳的來源據說是英國人初占香港,因為當地的氣候潮濕悶熱,士兵們紛紛得了爛腳丫,故爾稱之為香港腳。香港腳的對應俗名叫運動員腳(Athlete's Foot),起源當然是因為此病更常見于運動員,流行病學調查發現運動員比普通人群有雙倍的幾率患此病,有的調查研究中發現運動員高達70%-80%有腳氣。估計人一生有70%的幾率在某個時刻被感染腳氣。
腳氣因真菌感染而起,導致腳局部感染潰爛。真菌感染可能自始至終伴隨著人類,但并不常見,故而足癬的描述歷史短暫,最早對它的描述見于1888年,而在1908年威特菲爾德才首次將這一罕見疾病歸因于感染。為什么遲至1908年醫學界仍然認為足癬是罕見疾病呢?是什么因素讓一個罕見疾病在100年左右就變為常見病的呢?
