Tinea Capitis Due to Microsporum vanbreuseghemii: Report of Two Cases

Abstract: Two cases of dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum vanbreuseghemii are reported. A 7-year-old boy and his brother were examined for tinea capitis. Hair samples and skin scrapings were collected from each patient to microscopy and culture. Direct microscopic examination of the hairs using lactophenol revealed an ectothrix invasion. Cultures inoculated with portions of clinical material yielded M. vanbreuseghemii after 2 weeks. The identification of the fungi were based on colony morphology on mycobiotic agar, m… Show more

“…Lophophyton gallinae is the only species of the Lophophyton genus [20]. It is a zoophilic species that has been isolated from a squirrel, a dog, a cat, humans, and soil (Table 2) [78][79][80][81]. The sexual cycle of L. gallinae is heterothallic and was observed on hair and soil plates, oatmeal salts agar, diluted Sabouraud dextrose agar with salts, and diluted Pablum cereal agar with salts [39,78].…”
