Barn Itch.

Abstract:

:Particularly in rural settings, Trichophyton verrucosum commonly causes an inflammatory tinea infection, sometimes called 'barn itch." There is usually a history of contact with animals. The demonstration of clusters of large spores in a potassium hydroxide preparation of scrappings obtained from clinically involved skin is useful in making a presumptive diagnosis of T. verrucosum infection. Cultures frequently are negative. Oral griseofulvin shortens the course of the disease.
