Tinea barbae due to Trichophyton mentagrophytes related to persistent child infection.

Mycoses 1998 November

His two children had suffered from tinea manus 3 months previously, also caused by the zoophilic fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes probably acquired from guinea-pigs.

Finally, successful treatment was performed by means of oral application of fluconazole 50 mg daily for a period of 6 weeks.
