Prédisposition À L'Infection Par Trichophyton Rubrum. Investigations Biochimiques Et Fonctionelles

Subcutaneous <i>Trichophyton rubrum </i>Abscesses

“…Usually this ubiquitous organism causes a chronic, mildly inflammatory, hyperkeratotic eruption of the palms or soles; however, because of the anatomy of the skin (i.e. hair follicle), the dermatophyte can invade the deep corium invariably through an infection of the pilosebaceous apparatus [1,2,4,5,7,9,12,14]. Our patient is an example of a deep T. rubrum infection whose pathogenesis is probably different from the usual deep forms because of the patient's systemic disease and chronic steroid therapy.…”
