ABSTRACT
Trichophyton tonsurans is an anthropophilic dermatophyte with a worldwide distribution that is associated with epidemic outbreaks of tinea capitis and sometimes it is also isolated from tinea ungueum and faciei. We report a 3 year-old male from Guatemala, with a two weeks history of a scaly erythematous lesion on the right cheek. Trichophyton tonsurans was isolated and the lesion resolved after a 15 days-course of 2% ketoconazole cream.
