Microsporia is a common and highly contagious infection, which most often occurs in children. In recent years, incidence of the disease increased in adults. Objective. The study was aimed at assessing the features of microsporia in adults according to the data of the branch Veshnyakovskiy of the Moscow Scientific and Practical Center of Dermatology and Cosmetology of the Department of Health in Moscow. Material and methods. We analysed the incidence of microsporia in adults according to the data collected from 2010 to 2014. We investigated the epidemiological and clinical features of the disease. Results. Among the patients with microsporia, 33.4% were adults. In adults, microsporia was caused by Microsporum canis in 99% of cases. The infection was mainly transmitted by cats (83%). In 61% of cases, adults were infected in Moscow. In 99.3% of patients, the lesions were located on the glabrous skin, in 0.7% — on the scalp. There were no cases of concomitant involvement of the glabrous skin and scalp. Conclusions. Microsporia is quite common disease in adults and requires the development of preventive and therapeutic measures.
