Popis: A case of tinea corporis by Trichophyton indotineae observed in Argentina is presented. The patient had a history of having spent 18 months in Tulum, Mexico. She was suffering from tinea corporis in the anterior region of both thighs and the gluteal area. A mycological study was performed and T. mentagrophytes complex was isolated. The fungus was later identified as T. indotineae by DNA sequencing and treatment with SUBA-itraconazole was initiated with good clinical response.
