The patient had kept hedgehogs as pets, and one had bitten her on the tip of the nose two\u2003months prior to the appearance of the nasal lesion.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Fungal culture from the scales on the tip of the patient\u2019s nose was compatible with T. mentagrophytes var. erinacei. The strains isolated from cultures made from samples taken from the noses and ears of the pet hedgehogs were morphologically similar to the strain isolated from the patient. Morphological identification was confirmed by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer. The lesion was diagnosed as tinea faciei, and therapy was initiated with topical and systemic terbinafine 250\u2003mg\/day for eight\u2003weeks, which resulted in complete improvement.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. erinacei is the most common dermatophyte isolated in hedgehogs. Usually T. mentagrophytes var. erinacei infection manifests as an extremely inflammatory and pruritic eruption that is confined to the site of contact with the hedgehog. Although the identification of T. mentagrophytes by traditional methods is possible, identification by ITS region analysis is a fast, simple, and increasingly available method. The increasing frequency of the practice of keeping exotic animals as pets has resulted in the emergence of several zoonotic diseases that can potentially be transmitted to humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4632.2011.04995.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,2,20]],"date-time":"2012-02-20T19:49:48Z","timestamp":1329767388000},"page":"283-285","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["The
