Trichophyton erinacei skin infection after recreational exposure to an elephant in Southeast Asia.

João Borges-Costa, Maria da Luz Martins.   

Abstract

Zoophilic fungal infections are a prevalent disease in tropical countries and clinicians must consider them in the differential diagnosis of pruritic skin lesions. We report a clinical case of Trichophyton erinacei skin infection after recreational exposure to an Asian Elephant. As far as we were able to search the literature, it is the first case described after contact with elephants.
