Malaria is one of the oldest recorded diseases. It is a protozoal disease caused by infection with parasites of genus Plasmodium and transmitted to humans by bite of infected female Anopheline mosquito. This study was conducted to known the seroprevalence of malaria in and around Davangere. The study group consisted of 2185 blood samples collected from patients attending Chigateri general hospital and Bapuji hospital, attached to J.J.M Medical college, which were tested for presence of Malaria antigen (lactate dehydrogenase, p LDH ) by Malarigen Kit.
Out of 2185 samples tested, 34 cases (1.55%) were positive for malaria. Out of them 19(55.88%) were positive for Plasmodium vivax and 15(44.11%) for Plasmodium falciparum. The highest numbers of cases were seen in the age group of 1-10 years and in males. Seasonal distribution of cases showed maximum number of positive cases in july.

Dermatophytosis constitute a group of superficial fungal infection of keratinized tissue that is skin, hair and nail. These fungi are among the commonest infectious agents, and no geographic areas are without "ringworm". About 200 clinically diagnosed cases were included for the study. A detailed history was noted regarding age, sex, socioeconomic status, duration of illness and duration of treatment. Highest incidence was seen in the age group of 21-30 years, with 44 cases (22%). There was a male preponderance with 141 cases (70.5%). Dermatophytosis was common in low socioeconomic status 156 cases (78%).Keywords
