White piedra is a superficial mycosis caused by the genus Trichosporon and characterized by nodules on hair shaft.
The authors report a family referred to as pediculosis. Mycological culture on Mycosel® plus molecular identification was performed to precisely identify the etiology.
A Trichosporon spp. infection was revealed. The molecular procedure identified the agent as Trichosporon inkin.
White piedra and infection caused by T. inkin are rarely reported in Southern Brazil. The molecular tools are essentials on identifying the Trichosporon species.
白癣是一种由毛孢子菌属引起的浅表真菌感染,其特征是毛干上有结节。
作者报告了一个被称为头虱病的家族。对 Mycosel®加进行了真菌培养和分子鉴定,以准确鉴定病因。
发现一种毛孢子菌属感染。分子程序鉴定出的病原体是 Inkin 毛孢子菌。
白癣和 Inkin 毛孢子菌感染在巴西南部很少见。分子工具对于鉴定毛孢子菌属的物种至关重要。
