[Atypical infection caused by Microsporum gypseum mimicking circumscribed scleroderma]. / Atypická infekcia vyvolaná Microsporum gypseum imitujúca cirkumskriptnú sklerodermiu.

The authors describe a case of a 31 year old woman who suffered from sclerodermia circumscripta on her right leg. The diagnosis was histopathologically verified. Capillaroscopy and respiratory obstruction were positive. A new lesion appeared on the right arm thus imitating morphea. However, by means of mycological examinations Microsporum gypseum infection was recognized. (Fig. 3, Ref. 13.).
