abstract: Report of serial diseases of dermatophytoses caused by M. canis (5 patients) and M. audouinii (9 patients). Two cats and a dog were the infective source of M. canis-infection.

Remarkable are the identical morphological lesions of tinea capitis resp. corporis and the affections of adults in the two groups of patients. Griseofulvin therapy and additional veterinary hygienical treatment in case of M. canis-infection the two endemis were dissipated in few weeks.
