  • Title: The changing clinical picture of Microsporum canis infections in Sweden.
    Author: Emtestam L, Kaaman T.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 1982; 62(6):539-41. PubMed ID: 6187167.
    Abstract:
    All 22 cases of infections with Microsporum canis verified by culture during a five-year period were surveyed. Only tinea corporis was found. The clinical picture was varied and in more than half of the cases the preliminary diagnosis was other than tinea. The classical tinea capitis was not found in any case. Direct KOH-mounts showed poor correlation to the cultural findings (positive in 33%). It is concluded that mycological screening of certain dermatological disorders should be performed by culturing.
