- There has been a significant increase in Trichophyton quinckeanum infections recently, especially in 2020 when cases rose fivefold compared to 2015, often linked to rising field mouse populations.
- Typical carriers of the infection include rodents, dogs, and cats, which are usually asymptomatic, while humans experience more inflammatory responses, showing symptoms like tinea corporis and tinea capitis.
- Treatment for T. quinckeanum infections generally involves antifungal medications based on severity and patient factors, with terbinafine being the primary oral option for adults, while alternatives and off-label treatments may be used for children.
