“…On the other hand, our macroaleuriospores are very similar to those illustrated by English and Stockdale (8)(9) and also those included in the atlas of Frey, Oldfield and Bridger (10). We believe, therefore, that our strain should be designated as I: proliferans, a dermatophyte which we think should be considered as an independent species and not a synonym of T. erinacei.…”

“…It is necessary to follow-up this study with more strains. The macromorphological and micromorphological aspect of our strain is very similar to the Tproliferans, the only difference being that it forms chains of chlamydospores but not the typical propagules of the strain specified by English and Stockdale (8). Propagules are structures that one can see in other fungi, and as is true in the case of chlamydospores, we think they are structures of secondary importance in the identification of species.…”

“…Trichophyton proliferans was first specified by English and Stockdale in 1968, based on the study of two isolated strains of dermatophytes from ringworm lesions on the knees found in England in children of two and eleven years old (8)(9), and also in New Zealand by Rush-Munro (13), similarly located on the knee.…”

Summary: We have had the opportunity to study an dermatophyte isolated from the face of a woman, as a result of a fall on the ground. We identified the strain as Trichophyton proliferans whose characteristics, together with a review of the works published about this dermatophyte, lead us to believe that we are dealing with an independent species and not a synonym of T. mentagrophytes var. erinacei. Zusammenfassung: Das Pilzisolat von der Dermatophytose einer Frau, die sich beim Sturz auf den Erdboden infiziert hatte, wur‐de von uns als Trichophyton proliferans identifiziert. Seine Charakterisierung und die Durchsicht der zu diesem Dermatophy‐ten veröffentlichten Literatur belegen un‐sere Ansicht, daß es sich bei diesem um eine selbständige Art und nicht urn ein Syn‐omym von T. mentagrophytes var. erinacei handelt.

Most members of the anamorph genus Trichophyton are anthropophilic and have evolved with the human host. Classical parameters for the identification of dermatophytes include clinical features, cultural characteristics, conidial morphology and physiological test results. Phenotypic variability and pleomorphism due to culturing on artifical media is common among this group of organisms and has led to the description of numerous species. The validity of taxa around T. mentagrophytes and T. tonsurans was verified. Morphological and physiological features were compared to results of three different molecular techniques (sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal operon, PCR fingerprinting and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis). Twenty‐four species or varieties investigated could be reduced to five taxa and were reclassified or synonymized as Trichophyton tonsurans, T. interdigitale, T. mentagrophytes, T. simii and T. erinacei.
