ABSTRACT
Dermatophytoses of newborn infants are known to be very unusual, although cutaneous candidosis in infancy is relatively common. We report two cases of dermatophytoses seen in a 33-day-old infant and a 63-day-old infant. The dorsum of the foot of the former showed an annular lesion with crusty border of about 3 weeks duration and the chin of the latter showed an annular lesion with intensely inflamed border of about 5 weeks duration. From the two patients, Trichophyton rubrum was isolated. The articles describing dermatophytoses in infancy in the Korean literature did not report any cases similar to ours.
