Tinea manuum caused by Trichophyton erinacei: A case report in Argentina
Globalization and the introduction of exotic pets have led to the identification of new species that produce tinea in humans. Here, we report the clinical case of a 22-year-old female, who presented with a lesion on her hand that was compatible with dermatophytosis. Molecular biology methods identified the cultured fungus as Trichophyton erinacei.
