Abstract
Unusual cultures of a Microsporum species were isolated from 11 patients who had either tinea capitis or tinea corporis or both. Although the macroconidia produced in the primary cultures resembled those of M. canis, hyphal morphology and colony characteristics were different from any of the more commonly occurring Microsporum species. Careful examination of subcultures showed that the isolates were composed of 2 spp.; M. canis and M. distortum, whose relationship remains enigmatic.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
