She developed seven lesions on the left forearm, and the diameter of lesions were between 0.5 - 4x5 cm and the lesions were annular in shape. Lesions healed with 4 weeks topical terbinafin treatment.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Dermatofitik deri infeksiyonları insan, hayvan, toprak kaynaklı olabilir. Bu çalışmada, tinea kapitis profunda tanılı iki kardeşin epilasyonunu yapan 25 yaşındaki bir bayan doktorda gelişen tinea korporis infeksiyonu sunulmuştur. Yeterli infeksiyon kontrol önlemleri alınmadan yapılan epilasyon işleminden yaklaşık iki hafta sonra sol kolda en büyüğü 4x5 cm, en küçüğü 0.5 cm çapında toplam yedi adet, anüler plak tarzında lezyon gelişmiştir. Lezyonlar 4 haftalık topikal terbinafin ile iyileşmiştir. Dermatofit infeksiyonlarının hastadan sağlık çalışanına bulaşının engellenmesi için direkt temastan kaçınılmalıdır ve gerekli infeksiyon kontrol önlemleri alınmalıdır.
