In culture the fungus is similar to Trichophyton mentagrophytes, but is generally thinner and more finely granular. Microscopically it is distinguished by the production of enormous numbers of smooth, thin-walled, cylindrical to fusiform macroconidia which degenerate rapidly with the formation of intercalary chlamydospores, and clavate to pyriform microconidia. Cleistothecia characteristic of the genus Arthroderma are produced on soil mixed with horse hair or feathers and on some other media, particularly glucose peptone agar. The species is heterothallic.Lesions in monkeys are covered by thin, silvery scales and there is inflammation of the underlying dermis. Hair loss is slight and few infected hairs have been seen. Experimental infections in guinea pigs are usually very severe, with intense inflammation... |
