Tinea faciei in an infant caused by Microsporum gypseum simulating a dry impetigo.
Pediatr Dermatol. 2005 Nov-Dec; 22(6):536-8.PD

Abstract

We report a 14-month-old White boy who was referred to our dermatology unit for evaluation of a skin eruption on his nose. The initial examination led us to the clinical diagnosis of impetigo. The mycologic studies found an uncommon dermatophyte agent, Microsporum gypseum. The main differential diagnosis of tinea faciei is discussed.
