  • Title: Widespread erosive tinea corporis by Arthroderma benhamiae in a renal transplant recipient: case report.
    Author: Budihardja D, Freund V, Mayser P.
    Journal: Mycoses; 2010 Nov; 53(6):530-2. PubMed ID: 19558430.
    Abstract:
    Superficial fungal infections are expected to be more prevalent in renal transplant recipients because of graft-preserving immunosuppressive therapy. Here we report the case of a 45-year-old patient with widespread erosive tinea corporis transmitted by domestic animals. Sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer region identified Arthroderma benhamiae (teleomorph of Trichophyton mentagrophytes) in the patient, her husband and her domestic animals. A combination therapy with systemic terbinafine hydrochloride and topically applied ciclopiroxolamine was successful.
