Abstract
Tinea corporis caused by Microsporum audouinii is reported herein from two Indian adult females of age 27 and 33 years who are sisters. The fungus was reported from both based on microscopic and culture findings. Both cases had a satisfactory response to the ketoconazole and tolnaftate combination. Infections by this dermatophyte barring tinea capitis are few and far between and hardly reported. Hence, this is an exquisite case series to be reported in the literature. This report also highlights measures to be taken to prevent the transmission of fungal mold through fomites.
