We describe 2 children with tinea capitis caused by &lt;i&gt;Trichophyton mentagrophytes&lt;\/i&gt; (TM), who developed transient skin and serological manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus. &lt;i&gt;Patients:&lt;\/i&gt; Case 1, a 3-year-old girl, had a kerion due to TM transmitted by an octodon, and a facial skin eruption suggestive of systemic lupus erythematosus. Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) were positive at 1:250. After griseofulvin treatment, the lupus-like rash completely regressed, and the ANA titre decreased. Case 2, a 4-year-old girl, had occipital kerion and an annular scaly erythema on the shoulder caused by TM. She also had a non-scaly rash on the face and a recent history of photosensitivity. The ANA titre was positive at 1:8,000. Cutaneous lesions disappeared after an 8-week griseofulvin therapy, and ANA titres decreased progressively. &lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt; \u2018New pets\u2019 are usually the vectors of TM, especially familiar rodents like the degu of Chile (also named octodon). In our 2 cases, lupus-like rashes began before the onset of griseofulvin treatment, suggesting a pathogenic role of the dermatophyte. A wide variety of lesions named \u2018mycides\u2019 was described several decades ago associated with TM infections. We hypothesize that these mycides and the TM-induced lupus-like lesions reported in our 2 cases could represent the same entity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000069941","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,5,28]],"date-time":"2003-05-28T07:40:46Z","timestamp":1054107646000},"page":"303-306","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Lupus-erythematosus-Like Eruption Induced by &lt;i&gt;Trichophyton mentagrophytes&lt;\/i&gt; Infection"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"206","author":[{"given":"F.","family":"Boralevi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"L\u00e9aut\u00e9-Labr\u00e8ze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Roul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Couprie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Ta\u00efeb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1468-3083.2001.00214.x"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1439-0507.1999.00495.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1006867413987"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00015550152384335"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.215.13.2091"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.215.13.2106"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.114.2.250"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/69941","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/69941","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:16:10Z","timestamp":1745464570000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000069941"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2003]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000069941","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2003]]}}}
