- Abstract:
- Infection with trichophyton rubrum - now the most common anthropophilic dermatophyte - usually follows a chronic hypophlegmatic clinical course and is mostly confined to superficial keratin structures. In addition to the possibility of subcutaneous involvement, the following atypical clinical manifestations are emphasized: psoriasiform pustulating trichophytia, trichophytosis resembling Sweet syndrome, trichophytosis mimicking pseudolymphoma and impetiginized herpetiform trichophytosis. In three out of five cases definitive diagnosis was only possible by means of conventional histological examination. The cultivation of Trichophyton rubrum from preexisting mycotic lesions of patients with atypical dermatophytoses supports the possible role of self-inoculation.
