We describe a case of tinea genitalis in an immunocompetent woman in Pennsylvania, USA. Infection was caused by Trichophyton indotineae potentially acquired through sexual contact. The fungus was resistant to terbinafine (first-line antifungal) but improved with itraconazole. Clinicians should be aware of T. indotineae as a potential cause of antifungal-resistant genital lesions.
我们在美国宾夕法尼亚州描述了一例免疫功能正常女性的生殖器癣病例。感染是由 Trichophyton indotineae 引起的,可能通过性接触获得。该真菌对特比萘芬(一线抗真菌药物)耐药,但对伊曲康唑有效。临床医生应该意识到 T. indotineae 是一种潜在的抗真菌药物耐药性生殖器病变的原因。
