Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of superficial fungal infection on skin lesion of patient with psoriasis at National hospital of Dermatology and Venereology from January 2016 to December 2019.

Results: The prevalence of superficial fungal infection was 9.4%, there was no difference in age and gender. Dermatophytes were common with 42%, followed by Malassezia 34.9% and Candida with the lowest rate of 23.1%. The prevalence of Malassezia in psoriasis vulgaris was higher than other with p<0.05. The prevalence of Dermatophytes in pustular psoriasis was higher than other with p<0.05. Candida infection was found in all clinical form. Conclusion: Superficial fungal infections on skin lesions of patient with psoriasis were common, maily caused by Dermatophytes, Malassezia spp. and Candida spp.
