To review cases of tinea faciei due to <jats:italic>M.\u00a0canis<\/jats:italic> in children diagnosed at the Dermatology Clinic, University of Cagliari. Between 1990 and 2009, all children with dermatophyte infections of the facial skin were recruited for the study after parental consent. Diagnosis was made through direct microscopic and cultural examination. Age, sex, clinical form, illness duration, identified dermatophyte, source of infection, and treatment were recorded. Forty\u2010six cases of tinea faciei due to <jats:italic>M.\u00a0canis<\/jats:italic> in children aged 11\u2003months to 15\u2003years (29 male\/17 female) were diagnosed. In 42 (91.3%) children, the illness was the result of contact with pets, and 4 (8.7%) cases resulted from contact with children affected by tinea capitis due to <jats:italic>M.\u00a0canis.<\/jats:italic> Clinical manifestations were typical ringworm in 34 (74%) patients, whereas in 12 (26%) cases, atypical forms mimicking atopic dermatitis, impetigo, lupus erythematosus, and periorificial dermatitis were observed. In 18 (39%) cases, involvement of the vellus hair follicle was documented as ectothrix invasion. Topical or systemic antifungal therapy was effective in all patients. Tinea faciei shows a complex spectrum of differential diagnosis and age\u2010related variations with respect to other superficial dermatophytosis. <jats:italic>M.\u00a0canis<\/jats:italic> is the main organism responsible in children residing in Cagliari, capitol city of Sardinia, Italy. Close collaboration with veterinary and educational programs within infant communities are required for adequate prevention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1525-1470.2011.01595.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,20]],"date-time":"2011-10-20T09:36:28Z","timestamp":1319103388000},"page":"409-413","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Tinea
