dc.description.abstract Superficial fungal foot infection (SFFI) in diabetic patients increases the risk of developing serious sequlae such as the diabetic foot syndrome which may lead to limb amputation and other life threatening complications. Infected nail is an important source of recurrent SFFI. In Sri Lanka 16% of urban population is suffering from diabetes and are at increased risk for SFFI. As the diabetes patients are more prone to get fungal foot infections, early intervention is advisable owing to the progressive nature of the infection. There is no data on the prevalence of SFFIs in diabetic patients in Sri Lanka. This study was conducted to determine the etilogical agents causing SFFI and associated risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes en_US, si_LK
