Two hundred and seventy nine patients suspected of having fungal lesions were examined. Skin scrapping, hair samples and nail clippings were collected from patients. Direct and culture examinations were performed for all samples. About 115 cases of examined subjects had dermatophytosis. Dermatophytosis occurred mainly in adults males (20-29 years). Tinea cruris (24.3%) was the most common type of dermatophytosis followed by tinea pedis (16.5%), tinea corporis (14.8%), tinea ungium (13%), tinea capitis (11.3%), tinea faciei (11.3%), tinea manuum (7%) and tinea barbae (1.7%). Trichophyton mentagrophytes was the most prevalent species followed by Epidermophyton floccosum.

Generalized Superficial Mycosis Caused by Trichophyton raubitschekii in China: Case Report and Review of the Literature

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This is a generalized superficial mycosis case from which Trichophyton raubitschekii was isolated. A male adult was presented with a 3-year history of fingernail and toenail changes, and a 50-day history of severe and multiple skin lesions. He also complained of intense itching. T. raubitschekii was identified from every skin lesion (trunk, extremities and nail) through microscopic examination, physiological experiment and DNA sequencing. Generalized superficial mycosis was diagnosed and treated by administering a combination of oral (terbinafine tablets) and topical (naftifine hydrochloride and ketoconazole cream) antimycotic drugs. After treatment, the patient was cured and no recurrence has been observed.

Although Trichophyton raubitschekii was first described by Kane et al. as a distinct species of dermatophyte, it is now classified as a variety of T. rubrum. The variety raubitschekii differs from the other varieties of T. rubrum in morphology, physiology, epidemiology and patterns of infection, but they are indistinguishable using molecular methods. T. rubrum var. raubitschekii is mostly found in Africa, Asia and South America. We present two cases of imported mycosis in two Nigerian men due to T. rubrum var. raubitschekii. The patients have Tinea cruris lesions on the buttocks. These are the first reported cases of this dermatophytosis in Spain.
