Two siblings of African origin presented with multiple scaling patches and alopecia on the scalp four weeks after returning from a vacation in Eritrea. Direct KOH examination revealed fungal elements; Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton terrestre were identified in the fungal culture. We discuss the putative pathogenic role of both microorganisms in causing disease. Although infection with Microsporum canis currently accounts for almost fifty percent of all cases of tinea capitis in Germany, other fungi have gained importance due to tourism and increasing migration.
两名来自非洲的兄弟姐妹在从厄立特里亚度假归来四周后，头皮上出现了多处鳞屑斑和脱发。直接氢氧化钾检查发现了真菌成分；在真菌培养中鉴定出须癣毛癣菌和土生毛癣菌。我们讨论了这两种微生物在致病中的假定致病作用。尽管目前在德国，犬小孢子菌感染占所有头癣病例的近50%，但由于旅游业和移民增加，其他真菌也变得越来越重要。
