Tinea barbae due to Trichophyton interdigitale: a case report

Abstract

Abstract:

A 31-year-old goat farmer presented with aggravating lesions on his upper lip, lower jaw, cheek and the front of the neck for 4 months.Physical examination showed red swelling plaques, with marked nodules, pustules, pyorrhea and crusts on them and obvious tenderness.Most beards were off, with a few broken beards left and easy to pull out.Direct microscopic examination of pus showed septate hyaline hyphae with branches.Trichophyton interdigitale was isolated and identified from pus cultures.And histopathological features showed granulomatous changes.The diagnosis of tinea barbae caused by T.interdigitale was made based on the above findings.The patient was successfully treated with oral itraconazole 400 mg/d for 6 weeks, followed by the combination of oral itraconazole 200 mg/d and terbinafine 250 mg/d for another 6 weeks.

Key words: tinea barbae, T.interdigitale, treatment
