The African pygmy hedgehog has recently become a fashionable exotic pet in the United States, particularly in the South. As illustrated by the three cases reported, this mammalian insectivore can be a carrier of fungi that cause human dermatomycoses. The African pygmy hedgehog has also been associated with contact urticaria and human salmonellosis.
非洲侏儒刺猬最近在美国，尤其是南部地区，成为了一种时尚的外来宠物。正如所报道的三个病例所示，这种食虫哺乳动物可能是引起人类皮肤真菌病的真菌携带者。非洲侏儒刺猬还与接触性荨麻疹和人类沙门氏菌病有关。
