Microsporum gypseum infections are 0.4% of 4900 suspected dermatomycoses examined with direct microscopic exam and culture on Lactrimel medium or D.T.M. This geophilic dermatophyte was isolated in 20 cases (1.5% of all dermatophytes). More frequently M. gypseum caused tinea corporis (13 cases: 65%) and rarely tinea capitis (2 cases: 10%), tinea faciei (2 cases), tinea manus (2 cases) and tinea cruris (1 case). Both sexes are equally affected. Direct microscopic exam was negative in 2 cases. This dermatophyte was more frequently isolated during the summer and fall. Finally M. gypseum was not isolated in tinea pedis and tinea unguium.
在用直接显微镜检查以及在含氯霉素的培养基或皮肤真菌鉴别培养基上培养的4900例疑似皮肤癣菌病中，石膏样小孢子菌感染占0.4%。这种嗜土性皮肤癣菌在20例中分离得到（占所有皮肤癣菌的1.5%）。石膏样小孢子菌更常引起体癣（13例：65%），很少引起头癣（2例：10%）、面癣（2例）、手癣（2例）和股癣（1例）。两性受影响程度相同。2例直接显微镜检查结果为阴性。这种皮肤癣菌在夏季和秋季分离得到的频率更高。最后，在足癣和甲癣中未分离出石膏样小孢子菌。
