Nannizzia gypsea, previously known as Microsporum gypseum, is a geophilic dermatophyte that infects humans from the soil. We isolated N. gypsea from a two-year-old girl with kerion celsi. Because of her serious medical condition, she was admitted to the pediatric ward immediately after birth. We struggled to identify the route of infection, and eventually identified her grandmother's handmade belt, which covered the endotracheal-tube-holding device, as the infection source. To prevent indirect transmission of pathogenic microorganisms from outside the hospital environment, our hospital prohibited the bringing of belongings from outside.
土壤亲人性皮肤癣菌 Nannizzia gypsea，又名石膏样小孢子菌，可从土壤中感染人类。我们从一名患有脓癣的两岁女孩中分离出 N. gypsea。因病情严重，该患儿出生后立即被收入儿科病房。我们努力寻找感染途径，最终发现患儿奶奶手工制作的、覆盖在气管插管固定装置上的腰带为感染源。为防止医院外环境中的病原微生物的间接传播，我院禁止带入任何院外物品。
