Direct microscopic examination with KOH mount of skin specimens showed hyaline, septate, branching hyphae, some of them forming arthroconidia (Fig. 1B). Macroconidia were large clusters, rather thin-walled, regularly verrucose and fusiform, microconidia were sessile, clavate hyphae typical of Microsporum gypseum as described by De Hoog et al. (Fig. 1C).
