Although both Dermatophilus congolensis and Microsporum gypseum infections have been reported separately in camels, mixed infection involving both agents has not been reported to date. The authors describe a mixed infection of D. congolensis and M. gypseum in camels reared on a dairy farm in Saudi Arabia. A total of 131 out of 559 camels (23.4%) were affected. Forty-eight camels less than one year of age had discrete, circumscribed, crusty, hairless lesions, found in particular on the neck and forelegs. Eighty-three camels of varying ages had extensive hair matting with crusty, hairless lesions, especially on the flanks. Camel calves and young camels demonstrated a relatively greater amount of skin lesions. D. congolensis and M. gypseum were diagnosed by direct microscopy, isolation and histopathology.
尽管在骆驼中已分别报告过刚果嗜皮菌和石膏样小孢子菌感染，但迄今为止尚未报告过这两种病原体的混合感染。作者描述了沙特阿拉伯一家奶牛场饲养的骆驼中刚果嗜皮菌和石膏样小孢子菌的混合感染情况。559头骆驼中有131头（23.4%）受到影响。48头年龄小于1岁的骆驼有离散的、边界清楚的、结痂的无毛病变，尤其见于颈部和前腿。83头不同年龄的骆驼有广泛的毛发缠结，伴有结痂的无毛病变，特别是在胁腹部位。骆驼幼崽和年轻骆驼的皮肤病变相对较多。通过直接显微镜检查、分离培养和组织病理学诊断出刚果嗜皮菌和石膏样小孢子菌。
