microsporum nanum infection in hog farmers.microsporum nanum is a dermatophyte that can cause disease in both man and animals and is most frequently associated with ringworm infection in pigs. human infections are rare in the literature. three new cases of human m. nanum infection are reported here. two patients had inflammatory tinea faciei and one had tinea cruris. the patients were successfully treated with clotrimazole or miconazole cream, sometimes combined with griseofulvin. all three patients were hog farmers and lived in the same ...19863782533
dual infection of the toe web caused by trichophyton rubrum and microsporum canis.a case of tinea pedis caused by a dual infection with trichophyton rubrum and microsporum canis is reported. it is of particular interest because infections of the toe webs caused by m. canis are uncommon and the combination of t. rubrum and m. canis has not been reported. in addition, a marked difference in response to treatment with an imidazole (bifonazole) was observed.19863783364
dermatomycoses in the horse.the clinicopathological features and treatment of cases of dermatomycotic infections in horses are reported. organisms isolated from these cases include trichophyton mentagrophyte, t. equinum and micosporum equinum. the veterinary, medical and economic importance of the disease is discussed.19863793390
