Abstract
Scopulariopsis brevicaulis is a saprophytic fungus which is occasionally isolated as an apparent cause of toenail fungal infection, and which rarely has been reported as a cause of deep fungal granuloma. We report a case of skin infection with this organism, which was proved by culture of a pure isolate. The skin lesions had an annular ringworm appearance with pustules, they occurred initially at a site of minor injury, and they responded to treatment with terbinafine and itraconazole.
