  • Title: Scutular tinea of the scrotum: report of two cases.
    Author: Prochnau A, de Almeida HL, Souza PR, Vetoratto G, Duquia RP, Defferrari R.
    Journal: Mycoses; 2005 May; 48(3):162-4. PubMed ID: 15842330.
    Abstract:
    Infections caused by dermathophytes in the scrotal skin are uncommon especially due to Microsporum gypseum, which may form scutular or favus-like lesions. We report two patients with this type of tinea: one immune suppressed by HIV infection and another immunocompetent without comorbidity. In the literature we found only two reports in immunocompetent patients and some in immune suppressed with similar symptoms.
