Tinea pseudoimbricata caused by M. gypseum associated to crusted scabies

Abstract

Tinea pseudoimbricata is related to T. tonsurans and T. rubrum and crusted scabies is a highly contagious dermatosis caused by excessive proliferation of S. scabiei var. hominis. We described a case of a 21-year-old patient, seronegative for HIV, with both skin diseases. The occurrence of these dermatosis simultaneously in immunocompetent patients is very rare. ©2010 by Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia.
