Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A 70-year-old Japanese housewife, a resident of Shimane Prefecture, developed an erythematous, annular skin lesion on her right forearm. Mycological examinations revealed that it was tinea corporis caused by Trichophyton verrucosum (T. verrucosum). This fungus was then shown to have been transmitted to her from young dairy cattle introduced from the Hokkaido District to the ranch of her son. To the best of our knowledge, she is the first reported patient with tinea due to T. verrucosum who was infected in the San'in District.
