ABSTRACT
A 37 years old homosexual male with AIDS was diagnosed as having Tinea cruris and Tinea corporis. The patient was a garden designer and therefore he used to handle soil very often. Microsporum gypseum was identified on cultures from skin-scrapings and biopsy material taken from different cutaneous lesion. The same species was isolated from samples of soil the patient used to work with. The clinical history of the patient and its epidemiological aspects were deeply studied by the authors. We stress the value of identifying possible sources of dermatophytic infections in order to give advice to patients.
