Deep dermatophytosis is an uncommon fungal infection of the dermis most often seen in the setting of immunocompromise. We report a case of trichophyton deep dermatophytosis in a patient with a history of orthotopic heart transplantation who presented with superficial white onychomycosis and papules and plaques on the legs.

Deep dermatophytosis is a rare condition in which dermatophytes invade deep into the skin. Predisposing factors include chronic superficial dermatophytosis, immunosuppression or the use of topical steroids. Clinical, mycological, and histological examination are crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Background: Dermatophytosis is a common skin infection of cats and many other animals. A reliable diagnosis is crucial because of the zoonotic potential of dermatophytes. The routine mycological diagnostic procedures for dermatophytosis are widely known, but in the case of some isolates, identification based on phenotypic characteristics may be incorrect.

The well known dermatophyte infections caused by Trichophyton species are an ambiguous problem to treat using the present arsenal of antifungals. This study expounds on the effect of inhibition of sphingolipid pathway on Trichophyton growth. Findings from the drug susceptibility assays suggest sphingolipid inhibition severely restricts the growth of T.
