Abstract
Trichophyton rubrum is a common cause of superficial dermatophytosis in humans, such as tinea pedis, tinea unguium, tinea corporis and tinea cruris. T. rubrum usually attaches to keratin of the epidermis and uses it as a source of nutrients. Therefore, isolation of T. rubrum from non-keratinous skin, such as ulcer, is very rare. We describe 4 patients with T. rubrum-infected diabetic foot ulcer. Copyright
