Summary

Aphonoascus fulvescens was isolated from lesions resembling a dermatophyte infection in a 45-year-old woman who had used steroid cream for several months to treat a dermatosis of the neck. Treatment with griseofulvin and tolnaftate cured the lesions in 6 weeks. The microscopic characteristics of the isolate and its size differed slightly from those described by several other authors, and bore a closer resemblance to isolates previously described from Australia and New Guinea.

Abstract

Aphanoascus fulvescens fue aislado de lesiones semejantes a dermatofitosis en una mujer de 45 años de edad, que había utilizado esteroides en crema durante varios meses como tratamiento de una dermatosis del cuello. El uso de griseofulvina y tolnaftato curó las lesiones en un período de 6 semanas.

Las características microscópicas de la cepa y de otra aislada del suelo difieren, en cuanto a tamaño, de las descripciones hechas por otros autores, pero guardan más relación con los datos presentados por Frey.
