“…The clinical manifestation of glabrous skin infections due to M. gypseum is not always classic ringworm. Sometimes the infection may simulate impetigo, 20 scleroderma, 21 or psoriasis 22 . Three of our cases had an atypical appearance.…”

Fourteen cases of dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum gypseum, representing 6.8% of all dermatophytic infections reported, were diagnosed in Siena, Italy, between 2005 and 2006. There were as follows: six cases of tinea corporis, one case of tinea corporis associated with tinea capitis, one case of tinea corporis associated with tinea barbae, one kerion on the head, one tinea cruris, one tinea faciei, one tinea barbae, two onychomycosis. In the three subjects with tinea corporis, the clinical appearance was impetigo-like, psoriasis-like and pityriasis rosea-like respectively. In another case, the lesion was indicative of tinea imbricata. The diagnosis was based on mycological examination. In six cases, the source of infection was a cat, whereas in the others it was contact with soil.

“…The involvement of eyelashes by dermatophytes is also probable, which is named as tinea ciliaris . We reviewed the literature by the words ‘blepharitis and/or dermatophytes and/or tinea ciliaris and/or tinea capitis’, ‘etiopathogenesis of blepharitis’ and ‘causes of blepharitis’ and found three publication emphasising an association between dermatophytes and blepharitis (Table ) . We report two patients of tinea ciliaris with long‐standing chronic blepharitis in whom this chronic process is possibly related to dermatophytes; Microsporum audouinii and Trichophyton verrucosum isolated from the eyelashes.…”

Dermatophytes are rarely taken into account among the causes of blepharitis. In our report, we describe a 69-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman with chronic blepharitis for 10 years and 4 years respectively, in whom we examined the scales and pulled eyelashes on direct microscopy and isolated Microsporum audouinii and Trichophyton verrrucosum in the culture. We emphasise that dermatophytes may play a role in the etiopathogenesis of chronic blepharitis. In chronic, treatment resistance blepharitis fungal infections may be considered as possible cause.
