Popis:	ABSTRACT: This paper described a case of a capuchin monkey (Sapajus libidinosus) with non-pruritic skin lesions. During the physical examination, multifocal areas of alopecia with crusts, erythema and scaling compatible with dermatophytosis were reported on the right fore and hind limbs and on tail. Fungal culture findings revealed a diagnosis of dermatophytosis due to Microsporum canis. The animal was successfully treated with itraconazole. This is the first report of a dermatophytosis case in S. libidinosus and the first description of an effective treatment in this species.
