抄録

Case 1) A 2 year-old boy visited the dermatology clinic of Goto Central Hospital, Nagasaki, because of a kerion lesion on his scalp which had developed several days prior to the consultation (Fig. 1). On microscopic examination ectothrix-type fungal hair invasion was revealed and Trichophyton verrucosum was isolated (Fig. 2, 3, 5, 6). He was treated with oral administration of griseofulvin which resulted in quick response.<br>Case 2) A 3 year-old boy, a brother of case 1, visited the hospital clinic because of high grade inflammatory tinea circinata lesion on his left thigh (Fig. 4). T. verrucosum was isolated and he was also treated with oral griseofulvin successfully.<br>The family of the two patients keep cattles on their farm and those cattles were submitted to the examination for ringworm. Some young cattles had typical ringworm lesions on their noses, periorbital and glutaeal regions. T. verrucosum were isolated from the lesions (Fig. 7-10).<br>The introduction of T. verrucosum into Japan is presumably due to the import of infected cattles from Europe to Hokkaido, the northern part of Japan, before 20 years and T. verrucosum has spread rapidly all over Japan thereafter, and in the present times, the fungus has turned to be one of the causative organisms of human ringworm.
