This is a retrospective study of the agents, clinical aspects, sources of infection of 200 cases (98 males, 102 females, mean age 42\u2003years) of tinea incognito, observed in Siena and Milan, Italy, in the period 1987\u20132002.

Less often the dermatophytosis resembled psoriasis, purpura, seborrhoic dermatitis and lichen planus. There was folliculitis in 9% of cases and dermatophytid in 3% of cases. Antimycotic therapy brought about clinical and mycological recovery in all patients except one, who had iatrogenic immunodepression.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0507.2006.01251.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,8]],"date-time":"2006-08-08T20:02:47Z","timestamp":1155067367000},"page":"383-387","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":61,"title":["Tinea incognito in Italy: a 15\u2010year survey"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"C.","family":"Romano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.","family":"Maritati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Gianni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.3.5611.149"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","volume-title":"Dermatophytes, their Recognition and Identification","author":"Rebell G","year":"1970"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-4362.1978.tb06079.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0733-8635(05)70324-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","first-page":"65","article-title":"A growing, prurutic plaque on the thigh.
