Abstract
We report a nosocomial outbreak of Microsporum canis during inpatient treatment for HIV newly diagnosed with cryptococcal meningitis. The clinical presentation, though very typical of ringworm infection, samples were collected and examined by direct microscopy and culture on Sabouraud’s dextrose agar, revealing Microsporum canis. It is strongly believed that outdoor cats living in the hospital spaces are the main cause of disease transmission. Measures to limit zoophilic pathogens are necessary in immunosuppressed inpatient care unit
