A Rare Case of Cutaneous Trichophyton verrucosum of the Forearm in a 51-Year-Old Cattle Farmer.
2021
Trichophyton verrucosum is a pathogen causing superficial mycoses in cattle worldwide and is one of the few zoophilic dermatophytes. Farmers and veterinarians are at a higher risk for infection owing to frequent direct animal contact. An increase in cases among humans has been observed in the past few years. We report a rare case of T verrucosum of the forearm in a 51-year-old cattle farmer, who after initial treatment with antibiotics and surgery, and in whom diagnosis was delayed, was finally successfully treated with terbinafine and itraconazole.
