“…In Deutschland kommt T. schoenleinii nur sporadisch und sehr selten vor [68]. In Rumänien wurde kürzlich erstmals eine Tinea corporis bullosa ohne Kopfhautbeteiligung durch T. schoenleinii bei einer 41jährigen Frau diagnostiziert [69]. Sehr selten ist eine Onychomykose durch T. schoenleinii, wie sie gerade in Polen beschrieben wurde [70].…”

Dermatomycoses are caused most commonly by dermatophytes. The anthropophilic dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum is still the most frequent causative agent worldwide. Keratinolytic enzymes, e.g. hydrolases and keratinases, are important virulence factors of T. rubrum. Recently, the cysteine dioxygenase was found as new virulence factor. Predisposing host factors play a similarly important role for the development of dermatophytosis of the skin and nails. Chronic venous insufficiency, diabetes mellitus, disorders of cellular immunity, and genetic predisposition should be considered as risk factors for onychomycosis. A new alarming trend is the increasing number of cases of onychomycosis - mostly due to T. rubrum - in infancy. In Germany, tinea capitis is mostly caused by zoophilic dermatophytes, in particular Microsporum canis. New zoophilic fungi, primarily Trichophyton species of Arthroderma benhamiae, should be taken into differential diagnostic considerations of tinea capitis, tinea faciei, and tinea corporis. Source of infection are small household pets, particularly rodents, like guinea pigs. Anthropophilic dermatophytes may be introduced by families which immigrate from Africa or Asia to Europe. The anthropophilic dermatophytes T. violaceum, T. tonsurans (infections occurring in fighting sports clubs as "tinea gladiatorum capitis et corporis") and M. audouinii are causing outbreaks of small epidemics of tinea corporis and tinea capitis in kindergartens and schools. Superficial infections of the skin and mucous membranes due to yeasts are caused by Candida species. Also common are infections due to the lipophilic yeast fungus Malassezia. Today, within the genus Malassezia more than 10 different species are known. Malassezia globosa seems to play the crucial role in pityriasis versicolor. Molds (also designated non-dermatophyte molds, NDM) are increasingly found as causative agents in onychomycosis. Besides Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, several species of Fusarium and Aspergillus are found.

“…In Germany, T. schoenleinii occurs only very rarely, as a sporadic infection . In Rumania, tinea corporis bullosa without scalp involvement due to T. schoenleinii was recently diagnosed in a 41‐year‐old woman . Onychomycosis caused by T. schoenleinii , as recently reported in Poland, is very rare .…”

“…Bullous tinea manus, as seen in our patient, is an unusual manifestation of dermatophytosis. Bullous tinea may be caused by dermatophytes such as T. mentagrophytes [ 11 ] , M. canis [ 12 ] , T. schoenleinii [ 13 ] , T. verrucosum [ 14 ] and T. rubrum [ 15 ] . Source of infection is the protected Central European hedgehog ( Erinaceus europaeus ), and increasingly -as described in the present case -the imported, unprotected and commercially available four-toed hedgehog (or African dwarf hedgehog) as well as the Egyptian long-eared hedgehog [ 16,17 ] .…”

ZusammenfassungId-Reaktionen im Rahmen von Infektionen der Haut durch Erreger von Dermatomykosen sind hierzulande wahrscheinlich weit unterdiagnostiziert. Bei einem 10-jährigen Mädchen kam es nach dem Kontakt mit einer Katze zu einer Tinea manus bullosa. Als Erreger wurde Trichophyton mentagrophytes identifiziert und mittels Sequenzierung als zoophiler Genotyp III* bestätigt. Behandelt wurde rein topisch mit Miconazol + Flupredniden-Creme. In den nächsten Tagen entwickelten sich volar an beiden Handgelenken und an den Beugeseiten der Unterarme pruriginöse Papeln und Vesiculae im Sinne eines Mykids oder Id-Reaktion als Folge der Dermatophytose. Behandelt wurde kurzzeitig mit topischen Glukokortikoiden, das Exanthem bildete sich schnell zurück. Die Tinea manus heilte zeitgleich und ebenfalls folgenlos ab.
