ABSTRACT

Microsporum canis is one of the zoophiles and pets(especially dogs and cats) play a role as a source of this organism. M. canis is most likely transmitted by contact of these animal hosts with humans. We report on 16 foreigners who are infected with M. canis transmitted from a show tiger. Fourteen of the patients had directly contact with a show tiger on occasion. Patients showed typical tinea corporis lesions on the extremities, and the tiger showed hairless patches on the abdomen. The culture and microscopic findings from patients' lesions revealed M. canis as the causative fungus.
