  • Title: Tinea cruris: diagnostic confusion due to isolation of Candida albicans alone.
    Author: Kane J, Blakeman JM, Fischer JB.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1976 May 08; 114(9):797-8. PubMed ID: 773524.
    Abstract:
    The diagnostic importance of the isolation of Candida albicans from a skin lesion is often uncertain. In a 68-year-old man from whose lesions only C. albicans was originally isolated Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum were also isolated when the growth of the yeast was inhibited in a selective medium. The use of this selective medium, casamino acids erythritol albumin agar, ensures the proper interpretation of the significance of the presence of C. albicans in skin lesions.
