Abstract

Two cases of human ringworm caused by the dermatophyte Microsporum nanum are reported from South Australia. M. nanum is the commonest cause of ringworm in pigs and is known to cause porcine infections in Australia. This report shows the value of mycological investigations in determining the possible source of such infections.
