초록
Trichophyton (T.) tonsurans is a common anthropophilic species, which causes tinea capitis and tineacorporis particularily in Europe and America, but has not been prevalent in Korea. One case withmycoses infection of the scalp and the other with tinea corporis due to T. tonsurans were observed inKorean general population. We confirmed T. tonsurans infection on the basis of the direct microscopicexamination and culture from scales and infected hairs of skin lesions. Systemic itraconazole andterbinafine therapy with topical ketoconazole cream led to clinical and mycological recovery in ourcases. Infection of T. tonsurans appears to have spread gradually among the general population inKorea. Therefore, athletic and medical associations should make constant observation and take closeconsideration about T. tonsurans infection.
