Abstract
- Microsporum canis is known to be the main causative agent of tines capitis and tinea corporis in children. Contrary to Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. interdigitale, it very rarely infects the nail. In the reported cases of tinea unguium due to Microsporum canis, fingernails were usually affected. We report a patient with tinea unguium of thumb and big toe nails caused by Microsporum canis.
