Document Details : Title: Hedgehog ringworm in humans and a dog Author(s): PIÉRARD-FRANCHIMONT C, HERMANNS JF, COLLETTE C, PIÉRARD GE, QUATRESOOZ P Journal: Acta Clinica Belgica Volume: 63 Issue: 5 Date: 2008 Pages: 322-324 DOI: 10.2143/ACB.63.5.1002586 Abstract : We report 3 related cases of human dermatophytosis and 1 dog dermatophytosis likely caused by contact with a European hedgehog. Trichophyton erinacei was isolated from stratum corneum samples. This type of zoophilic dermatophytosis is rare in south-east Belgium and probably in the rest of the country as well. |
