Hedgehog ringworm in humans and a dog

C Piérard-Franchimont et al. Acta Clin Belg. 2008 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

We report 3 related cases of human dermatophytosis and 1 dog dermatophytosis likely caused by contact with a European hedgehog. Trichophyton erinacei was isolated from stratum corneum samples. This type of zoophilic dermatophytosis is rare in south-east Belgium and probably in the rest of the country as well.
