“…This pathogen was isolated from lesions of tinea corporis and tinea pedis in Iran [3]. The incidence of this pathogen as a cause of tinea capitis is high in Mexico City and in the USA [28, 29]. Microsporum nanum and Trichophyton equinum were the least frequently isolated dermatophytes.…”

Here we report the first case observed in Siena, in which the principal agent of the dermatophytosis was M. canis , and cats, which are often healthy carriers, were the main source of infection [13].…”
