Abstract: Surface mycosis of the nails, hair, and skin ia a prevalent ailment worldwide. They are caused by several yeast and molds.The primary cause of these illnesses is the dermatophytes, which are filamentous fungi that rely on the keratin in the skin, the corneal layer, and the superficial growths on both human and animal skin. The distribution of these fungi varies between country and within a single country depending on the climate and other variables that promote their growth. the dermatophytes are a major health risk. The current study aim to assess the antifungal activity of Eucalyptus camaldulensis extracts against dermatophytosis-causing Trichophyton rubrum. Three species of dermatophyte (Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophyte and Microsporum canis) were isolated from patients; Trichophyton rubrum was the most common type of fungus. The acquired results demonstrated that, in comparison to the controls, Trichophyton rubrumś mycelium growth was impacted by both aqueous and ethanolic extract. Additionally, it was discovered that when tested against Trichophyton rubrum, ethanolic extracts exhibited the greatest growth suppression.
