CAMARGO, Rosangela M. Pires de et al. Report of the fourth human infection case by Microsporum nanum in Brazil. Rev. Inst. Med. trop. S. Paulo [online]. 1992, vol.34, n.6, pp.581-585. ISSN 1678-9946.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0036-46651992000600013.

The authors present the fourth Brazilian case of human Microsporum nanum (M. nanum) infection. A child of nine months old presents cutaneous dorsal lesions compatible with tinea corporis, which appeared one month before. The culture revealed M. nanum. The lesions resolved spontaneously after a month. Epidemiologic investigation in the patient's place of origin identified swine infected by M. nanum, indicating the probable source of the infection.
