Fungal skin diseases belong to the most common infectious disorders of the skin. Diagnosis and therapy of superficial fungal skin infections may sometimes become difficult in certain population groups such as in childhood. We describe the case of a 2-year old girl with tinea corporis including clinical picture, differential diagnostic considering, cultivation finding of Trichophyton interdigitale/Trichophyton mentagrophytes and therapy. We summarize current literature recommendations of topical and systemic antifungal treatment of this entity in children.

Keywords: dermatophytoses, children, differential diagnosis, therapy.
