“…As the commonly implicated pathogenic dermotophyte, T. rubrum is the most isolated from tinea corporis [4,5] , and it may also be occurring as perfolliculitis in patient post-amputation stump [6] . The precipitating factors in our patient of tinea corporis involving T. rubrum on the leg stump including long period using a prosthesis together with protective equipment of silicone stocking, that make the local environment of airtight and humid within the prosthesis favors T. rubrum infection of the stump [7] .…”

We report a case of tinea corporis on amputated leg stump caused by Trichophyton rubrum. The patient, a 54-year-old male, experienced a serious traffic accident, resulted his right leg amputated 3 years ago. Since then prosthesis was fitted and protective equipment of silicone stocking was worn for the stump. He consulted with circular, patchy and scaly erythemas with itching on his right below knee amputation stump for 2 months. The diagnoses of tinea corporis on the stump was made based on a positive KOH direct microscopic examination, morphologic characteristics and sequencing of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) 1 and 4, confirmed that the isolate from the scales was T. rubrum. The patient was cured with oral terbinafine and topical naftifine-ketaconazole cream following 2% ketaconazole shampoo wash for 3 weeks. Long times using prosthesis together with protective equipment of silicone stocking, leading to the local environment of airtight and humid within the prosthesis favors T. rubrum infection of the stump could be considered as the precipitating factors.

“…Usually this ubiquitous organism causes a chronic, mildly inflammatory, hyperkeratotic eruption of the palms or soles; however, because of the anatomy of the skin (i.e. hair follicle), the dermatophyte can invade the deep corium invariably through an infection of the pilosebaceous apparatus [1,2,4,5,7,9,12,14]. Our patient is an example of a deep T. rubrum infection whose pathogenesis is probably different from the usual deep forms because of the patient's systemic disease and chronic steroid therapy.…”
