An anthropophilic fungus, which has become the most common and widely distributed dermatophyte of humans. It frequently causes chronic infections of skin, nails and rarely scalp. Granulomatous lesions may sometimes occur. Invaded hairs show ectothrix or endothrix infection but do not fluoresce under Wood's ultra- violet light. Distribution: World-wide. Key Features: Culture characteristics, microscopic Trichophyton rubrum

An anthropophilic fungus, which has become the most common and widely distributed dermatophyte of humans. It frequently causes chronic infections of skin, nails and rarely scalp. Granulomatous lesions may sometimes occur. Invaded hairs show ectothrix or endothrix infection but do not fluoresce under Wood's ultra-violet light.Distribution: World-wide.Key Features: Culture characteristics, microscopic morphology and failure to perforate hair in vitro.
