Tinea imbricata is a chronic superficial mycosis caused by Trichophyton concentricum. It is characterized by widespread, annular, concentric, squamous lesions. Tinea imbricata is endemic in three geographical areas: Southwest Pacific, Southeast Asia, and Central and South America. Tinea imbricata in travelers returning from endemic areas is exceptionally rare. We report a case of tinea imbricata in an Italian child who acquired the infection during a trip to Solomon Islands. Three cultures were positive for T. concentricum. The patient was successfully treated with griseofulvin and terbinafine cream.
叠瓦癣是一种由同心性毛癣菌引起的慢性浅表性真菌感染。其特征为广泛分布的、环状的、同心的、鳞片状皮损。叠瓦癣在地中海地区、东南亚地区以及中南美洲的三个地区流行。旅行者从流行地区返回后罹患叠瓦癣极为罕见。我们报告了一例意大利儿童病例,该儿童在前往所罗门群岛旅行期间感染了该病。三种培养物均为同心性毛癣菌阳性。该患者使用灰黄霉素和特比萘芬乳膏治疗后痊愈。
