Abstract
|
|
|
|
Trichophyton (T.) rubrum is the dermatophyte most frequently isolated from humans. It has the ability to form molecular attachments to keratin, resulting in dermatophytic infections on the keratinized tissues, including the stratum corneum of the skin. Uncommon dermatophytic infection, such as granulomatous disease or extensive and severe diseases, can be also developed. However, reports about the isolation of T. rubrum from urine are not expected in the literature. We report incidental isolation of T. rubrum from inpatients’ urine.
