title: Universal ichthyosiform trichophyton violaceum in myxoedema.
abstract: In a man aged 29 following thyroidectomy complicated by myxoedema an onychomycotic infection of long duration spread suddenly and fast onto the skin. A serious traffic accident coincided with the insidious onset of myxoedema. The patient was very irregular in taking medicines and continuously on sick pay. Myxoedema worsened and the ringworm progressed into a generalized ichthyosiform--universal mycotic--condition.
