- Abstract
Objective: to analyze, according to national and international scientific productions, the presence of peripheral cutaneous fungal infections and the main fungi identified in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: this is an integrative literature review, with studies published in the databases MEDLINE, LILACS, Web of science, BDENF, SCIELO and PUBMED. Results: the main dermatophytes found in cultures isolated from individuals with diabetes were trichophyton rubrum and trichophyton metagraphyte, as well as the yeast-like fungi identified were candida albicans and candida tropicalis, with the prevalence of onychomycosis 2.5 times more elevated in people with diabetes. Conclusion: superficial and cutaneous peripheral fungal infections do not refer only to aesthetic or cosmetic complications, mainly for people with diabetes, but also to a serious public health problem, due to complications and their potential for morbidity and mortality
