Trichophyton mentagrophytes is one of the most common dermatophytes causing cutaneous human fungal disease worldwide. Pubic and/or vulvar localisation of dermatophytosis has rarely been reported and may often be misdiagnosed as bacterial infections. We present a connubial case of severe inflammatory tinea in the genital region caused by T. mentagrophytes. The case illustrates the importance of getting material for cultivation before treatment and emphasises the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment of fungal infections in the genital region.
须毛癣菌是全球范围内引起人类皮肤真菌病最常见的皮肤癣菌之一。须毛癣菌引起的外阴和/或会阴部的皮肤癣病很少被报道，并且常常可能被误诊为细菌感染。我们报告了一例由须毛癣菌引起的生殖器部位严重炎症性体癣的夫妻病例。该病例说明了在治疗前获取培养材料的重要性，并强调了在生殖器部位真菌感染的诊断和治疗方面的困难。
