Zoophilic fungal infections are a prevalent disease in tropical countries and clinicians must consider them in the differential diagnosis of pruritic skin lesions. We report a clinical case of Trichophyton erinacei skin infection after recreational exposure to an Asian Elephant. As far as we were able to search the literature, it is the first case described after contact with elephants.
嗜动物性真菌感染在热带国家是一种常见疾病,临床医生在对瘙痒性皮肤病变进行鉴别诊断时必须考虑到这类感染。我们报告了一例在娱乐活动中接触亚洲象后发生的猬状毛癣菌皮肤感染的临床病例。就我们所能查阅的文献而言,这是首例报道的接触大象后发生的此类病例。
