Abstract

A 5-month-old female infant presented with widespread periorifi cial erythematous plaques suggestive of acrodermatitis enteropathica. The patient was in good condition without any systemic complaints and/or relevant past medical history. Mycological culture revealed Microsporum canis and complete clearance of lesions was achieved with systemic fl uconazole. This case is presented to emphasize that dermatophytoses should be borne in mind in healthy infants presenting with widespread erythematous eruptions.
