Abstract:
We report a case of tinea corporis occurring in one family caused by Trichophyton verrucosum. Father, mother and a son in a family had well defined scaly erythematous patches on the forearm, cheek and postauricular area. Histopathologically fungal hyphae were found in the horny layer of the epidermis in PAS stained sections. In mycological study, charact,eristic feature of T. verrucosum were found. The possible source of the infections was the cattle that they raised in their house. After eight weeks administration of ketoconazole, the lesions were healed leaving slight brownish discoloration.
