Two recent indigenous cases of tinea capitis in children due to pale isolates of Trichophyton violaceum are reported herein for the first time from South-East Europe (Greece). Pale isolates of Trichophyton violaceum, reported in the past as Trichophyton glabrum, are thus far sporadically reported only from African or Asian countries. The cases reported herein raise the awareness of its existence in the community, assigning special importance to its accurate identification in the clinical laboratory.
本文首次报道了东南欧（希腊）两例近期儿童头癣本土病例，病原体为紫色毛癣菌浅色菌株。紫色毛癣菌浅色菌株过去曾被报告为光滑毛癣菌，迄今为止仅在非洲或亚洲国家有零星报道。本文报告的病例提高了社区对其存在的认识，凸显了临床实验室准确鉴定它的特殊重要性。
