recently been recognized as the cause of severe opportunistic systemic infections and skin infections mimicking eczema. T. asahii may also behave as a saprophytic fungus in human skin, however. In two studies from the USA and equatorial Africa, the prevalence of this fungus in perigenital skin reached 12.4 and 18% of healthy controls, respectively, with variations according to age, sex, race, and socioeconomic background. Therefore, the possibility exists that, in our patient, T. asahii was…
