Abstract
- We report a patient with an unusual manifestation of Trichophyton rubrum infection. A 75-year-old male presented an erythematous patch with painless crusted and non-crusted nodules on the left elbow which had persisted for 5 weeks. Histologic findings of the erythematous nodule showed epidermal hyperplasia and granulomatous change in the lower dermis. Trichophyton rubrum was isolated on the fungus culture of the biopsy specimen. The patient was treated with itraconazole (100mg/day) for 8 weeks, resulting in the clearing of the skin lesion and there has been no recurrence of any skin lesion over a 3-month' follow-up period.
