Two Rare Cases of Tinea Corporis Caused by Trichophyton verrucosum and Trichophyton interdigitale in a Teenage Girl

We present two cases of tinea corporis caused by Trichophyton verrucosum and Trichophyton interdigitale in a teenage girl who works with farm animals. We describe the differences in presentation between zoophilic dermatophytes and anthropophilic dermatophytes. Also, we report some of the typical fea...

description We present two cases of tinea corporis caused by Trichophyton verrucosum and Trichophyton interdigitale in a teenage girl who works with farm animals. We describe the differences in presentation between zoophilic dermatophytes and anthropophilic dermatophytes. Also, we report some of the typical features of the two rare species, T. verrucosum and T. interdigitale. This case is significant to dermatology as it raises awareness about these uncommon zoophilic dermatophytoses and demonstrates the importance of educating patients about their mode of infection.
