A case of pitted keratolysis caused by Dermatophilus congolensis is reported. The organism was isolated from the lesion and identified by its morphological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics. A survey of the literature revealed that it rarely causes human infections, but is a common causative agent of disease in domesticated and wild animals. Human infections reported previously were traced to contact with infected animals or contaminated soil. We report pitted keratolysis in a 44-year-old physician with no known history of such a contact.
报告了1例由刚果嗜皮菌引起的凹坑状角质松解症。从病变部位分离出该病原体，并通过其形态学、培养和生化特征进行鉴定。文献调查显示，它很少引起人类感染，但却是家畜和野生动物疾病的常见病原体。先前报告的人类感染病例可追溯到与受感染动物或受污染土壤的接触。我们报告了1例44岁的医生发生凹坑状角质松解症，其并无此类接触史。
