[Folliculitis and abscessed nodular perifolliculitis of the upper limb caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes, presumably corticoid-related].
The authors present a follicolitis and perifolliculitis case with abscess and profound nodules, unfolded on a patient who had been subjected to an abusive local an general treatment with corticoids. That process had progressed with similar characteristics to Majocchi's tricophytic granuloma, although this case appeared over the application of that therapeutic. The allergological study could prove a depression of the cellular immunity, but at the same time it demonstrated an abnormal reaction, as an anaphylactoid one, at trychophytin and penicillin.
