The first cases of tinea corporis with Arthroderma benhamiae in Japan are reported. A 7-year-old girl and a 30-year-old mother in Shimane prefecture suffered from dermatophyte infections on the neck, shoulder, arms and leg. Three isolates from the two patients and a rabbit by which they supposedly were infected, were identified as Trichophyton mentagrophytes. On the bases of mating tests using the tester strains of both the African race and the Americano-European race of A. benhamiae, they were identified as A. benhamiae African race mating type (-). Our results are the first to indicate that both races of A. benhamiae exist in Japan.
本文报告了日本首例由贝氏节皮菌引起的体癣病例。岛根县一名7岁女孩和一名30岁母亲的颈部、肩部、手臂和腿部患有皮肤癣菌感染。从这两名患者以及他们疑似感染的一只兔子身上分离出的三株菌株被鉴定为须癣毛癣菌。基于使用贝氏节皮菌非洲菌株和欧美菌株的测试菌株进行的交配试验，它们被鉴定为贝氏节皮菌非洲菌株交配型（-）。我们的结果首次表明贝氏节皮菌的两个菌株在日本均有存在。
