Nannizzia incurvata is a geophilic dermatophyte that is rarely detected in Germany. We report on a 17-year-old traveler returning from Indonesia in whom Nannizzia incurvata was isolated as the causative agent of tinea corporis. Targeted, local antimycotic therapy and clinical follow-up was recommended. This report shows the importance of a detailed travel history and targeted mycological diagnostic workup.

Dermatophytosis is a superficial cutaneous infection, most commonly caused by fungal species such as Microsporum canis, Nannizzia gypsea (Microsporum gypseum), and Trichophyton mentagrophytes in dogs and cats. The zoonotic potential of these species is concerning, as companion animals are increasingly close to their owners. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to evaluate the current prevalence of Nannizzia-causing canine and feline dermatophytosis in Curitiba and Metropolitan Region, as well as perform phenotypic and phylogenetic characterizations of these isolates.
