Figure 3 A 3-year-old girl was consulted with impetigo-like lesions around the nostrils. A: Pustules and erythema around nostrils; B: Hyphae and clustered spores in the crust but the culture was negative. The pathogenic agent was identified as Arthroderma vanbreuseghemii (a teleomorph of Trichophyton interdigitale) using polymerase chain reaction-based sequencing of the crusts; C: The pustules and erythema disappeared after 35 d of antifungal treatment.
