Abstract
Nannizzia incurvata is a geophilic dermatophyte that is rarely detected in Germany. We report on a 17-year-old traveler returning from Indonesia in whom Nannizzia incurvata was isolated as the causative agent of tinea corporis. Targeted, local antimycotic therapy and clinical follow-up was recommended. This report shows the importance of a detailed travel history and targeted mycological diagnostic workup.
