An unusual granulomatous tinea due to Nannizzia incurvata in Germany without evidence of an acquisition from outside Europe and reduced itraconazole susceptibility
Key Points
Granulomatous tinea was linked to Nannizzia incurvata, a rare dermatophyte, indicating a unique presentation.
High levels of reduced itraconazole susceptibility were observed, raising concerns about treatment effectiveness.
The approach involved a comprehensive analysis of skin samples collected from patients across Germany.
These findings suggest a need for further investigation into local reservoirs of infection and treatment strategies.
