“…Las infecciones cutáneas por dermatofitos son frecuentes en nuestro medio y la incidencia de las causadas por T. benhamiae se encuentra en aumento. 10 Por tanto, se recomienda pensar en esta posibilidad en aquellos individuos más susceptibles, especialmente en niños. Ante un posible caso se recomienda realizar toma de muestra antes de iniciar el tratamiento, para poder ajustarlo en función de los resultados.…”

A 4-year-old patient who attended the pediatric clinic for presenting a 2-week-old skin lesion in the periorbital region with an erythematous-scaly appearance. Initially, he received treatment with topical corticosteroids and antibiotics. One week later, in the absence of improvement and the appearance of an erythematous border with a clear center, a fungal infection is suspected, and the family confirms contact with a domestic guinea pig, for which a smear of the lesion is performed and the treatment regimen is modified to topic clotrimazole. Two weeks later, growth of T. benhamiae was confirmed, for which reason the treatment was modified, starting oral and topical terbinafine for 6 weeks, with resolution of the lesion. Importance of the case: Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis are the fungi that most frequently cause dermatophytosis. The dermatophyte detected in the lesion of this case, T. benhamiae, although less common, has an increasing prevalence in our environment, and requires prolonged treatment and follow-up.

Background: Trichophyton benhamiae is a zoophilic dermatophyte that can cause tinea in humans and animals. Lesions caused by T. benhamiae tend to be highly inflammatory, and patients are often infected by animals or other patients infected with T. benhamiae. In this paper, we report the first case of tinea faciei caused by T. benhamiae in a Chinese girl who might be transmitted from a fox. Case presentation: A 4-year-old girl from HaiNing city developed an itchy, erythematous, and annular plaque on her right face for the past 2 months. Before the lesion appeared, she was in close contact with the fur of a fox for almost 1 week. Septate hyaline hyphae were detected by direct mycological examination of the scales. Cultures grew on Sabouraud's dextrose agar (SDA) at 26°C for 2 weeks revealed the presence of T. mentagrophytes. A molecular sequencing test confirmed that the isolate was consistent with reference strains to T. benhamiae. Then, the diagnosis of tinea faciei due to T. benhamiae was made. Treatment with terbinafine (oral 125 mg/d) and sertaconazole nitrate cream (topical, twice daily) for 4 weeks was initiated and achieved significant improvement of the skin lesions. Conclusions: This rare dermatophytosis case highlights the importance of ITS sequencing in helping to recognize rare pathogenic fungi that can be easily misdiagnosed with a conventional morphological diagnosis.
