Only 34 cases were seen by my laboratory in the 10-year period from 1963 to 1972. It exclusively affects adult males, frequently those in close contact with domesticated animals, especially cattle. Trichophyton mentagrophytes is the predominant fungus contacted from cattle to cause tinea barbae in Western Australia. Tinea barbae is confined to the male beard and moustache area. The acute form of infection, contracted from animals, is not common in Western Australia even in dairying districts. Citing Literature Volume21, Issue1April 1980Pages 40-41 RelatedInformation
