According to Epigee.org in the mental health section of the website, mysophobia is very common in the United States.
However, mysophobia doesn't usually stand alone as it's own mental disorder, but is usually coexisting with other disorders such as hypochondria, since these individuals already have an intense fear of being sick. Also, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is linked as being another coexisting mental disorder that goes hand in hand with this phobia as well.
Then again, fear that is instigated from more knowledge and exposure of such widespread conditions as the AIDS epidemic, and I guess even N1H1 back when it was first seen as a threat could also account for estimating how common mysophobia is. In truth, I don't think there is an exact estimate or census as to exactly how many people suffer from this altogether.
