A NEW HUMAN CASE OF ANIXIOPSIS STERCORARIA MYCOSIS: DISCUSSION OF ITS TAXONOMY AND PATHOGENICITY
2009
Summary: Anixiopsis stercoraria, a keratmophflic fungus frequently isolated from soil is occasionally pathogenic for humans and animals causing dermatophytosis-like lesions. However, this species, which presents a Chiysosporinm asexual state, is not a true dermatophyte and the lesions disappear spontaneously or after a short antifrmgal treatment (antidermatophytic). Report on a case of a ten year old boy with lesions on the scalp which clinically appeared to be typical for tinea capitls. The different fungal isolates from these lesions are discussed in connection with the pathology.
Zusammenfassung: Anixiopsis stercoraria 1st em keratinophuer Bodenpilz, der gelegentlich bei Menschen und Tieren Hantreandenmgen hervonuft, die einer Dermatophytose ahnem. Diese Art, die ein asexuelles Stadium von Chysosporium darstellt, ist jedoch selbst kein echter Dermatophyt. Die Hantrerandenrngen hellen spontan oder unter anthnykotischer (antidermato-phytischer) Behandhmg ab. Es wird der Fall eines Uphrigen Jungen berichtet, bei dem skh am Kopf fur Tinea capitis typische Herde entwickelt batten. Die isotterten Pflze werden in Verbin-dung mit der Pathotogie diskutiert
