Abstract
Dermatophytosis of the face, also known as tinea faciei, may have a variable clinical presentation. A presumed clinical diagnosis of dermatophytosis should be confirmed with microscopy, culture, and or real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Initially misdiagnosed after negative real-time polymerase chain reaction, we report a case of bilateral periocular tinea secondary to Trichophyton mentagrophytes, a dermatophyte often transmitted from guinea pigs and rabbits.
