Summary Objective Tinea manuum is considered in Italy as an uncommon infection, although no recent epidemiological data are available. Methods In the period 2000‐2018, we observed in the metropolitan area of Milan 18 patients with mycologically tinea manuum. Results The infection was monolateral in all patients and characterised by erythema and scaling; in two patients, each vesicles and pustules were present. Two patients had also onychomycosis of one fingernail. No cases of simultaneous tinea pedis were observed. As far as the job of these patients is concerned, seven of them were masseurs, three barbers, two cattlemen, two masons, one car mechanic, one florist, one maid and one veterinarian. Trichophyton rubrum was isolated in 6 patients, Microsporum canis in 4, Trichophyton gypseum in 3, Trichophyton verrucosum in 3 and Trichophyton violaceum in 2 patients. Conclusion Masseurs were the most affected. Trichophyton rubrum and Microsporum canis were the most frequent isolated dermatophytes.

“…T . erinacei is a member of the T. mentagrophytes complex, a zoonotic dermatophyte which is a very rarely isolated human pathogen [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. It is the most common dermatophyte isolated in hedgehogs, with infection rates of 20–47% [7].…”

Trichophyton erinacei Onychomycosis: The First to Evidence a Proximal Subungual Onychomycosis Pattern

Trichophyton erinacei is an emerging cause of dermatophyte infections, which are frequently isolated from hedgehogs. Nail infections from T. erinacei are rarely reported. We describe the case of a 23-year-old Thai female who had a history of systemic lupus erythematosus with lupus nephritis type III and who developed widespread skin and nail infections caused by T. erinacei that were most likely transmitted from a hedgehog. Although the patient did not demonstrate a clinical improvement or mycological cure following systemic itraconazole and fluconazole treatment, she achieved clinical and mycological cures after terbinafine therapy. A drug susceptibility test should be performed in patients with T. erinacei infections to facilitate decision-making about antifungal therapy. Here, we are the first to report a case of proximal subungual onychomycosis from a T. erinacei infection.
