Abstract
- Hamster is mammal which belongs to the rodent family, usually small in size and frequently nocturnal in their habits and small pet kept in many countries today. We report a case of Trichophyton(T.) mentagrophytes infection probably transmitted from hamster. A 11-year-old girl was presented with a 1 month history of pruritic 3x2cm-sized erythematous scaly papular patch on the left posterior thigh. Culture from a thigh lesion of patient on Sabouraud dextrose agar showed T. mentagrophytes. One hundred mg of itraconazole per day for 15 days was tried and skin lesion was improved without recurrence.
