Mycoses, 07/01/09

Nicola A et al. - Tinea faciei is an uncommon dermatophytosis affecting the glabrous skin of the face. Males below and females above 15 years of age were the most affected. The isolated dermatophytes were Microsporum canis, Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes var. mentagrophytes. All patients recovered after local and/or systemic antifungal therapy, without relapse or side effects.
