N2  - Abstract: A case of 29 years old female who admitted to EskisehirOsmangazi University Hospital of Medical Faculty, Dermatology Clinic because ofringworm skin rashes resembling tinea corporis has been represented in thispaper. Hyaline septate branching hyphae were seen in microscopic examination ofskin scrapping specimens and the agent grown on Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA)and mycobiotic agar including cycloheximide and chloramphenicol after fourweeks. Based on its microscopic characteristics and the results of severalphenotypic tests such as frequent reflexive hyphae formation on corn meal tween80 agar, yellow pigment production on Lowenstein Jensen agar, positive urease testin Christensen urea broth and failure to grow at 37ºC on SDA, the isolate wasidentified as Microsporum ferrugineum which share similar macroscopiccharacteristics with dysgonic strains of other dermatophytes. Topicalsertaconazole nitrate implementation was started for treatment and clinical andmycological response was observed after one month.Keywords: Dermatophytes, Tinea corporis, Microscopic characteristics, phenotypictestsÖz: Bumakalede tinea corporisi düşündüren halka şeklindeki cilt döküntüleriyleEskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi, DermatolojiKliniği’ne başvuran 29 yaşında bir kadın olgu sunulmuştur. Hastanın ciltkazıntı örneklerinin mikroskobik incelemesinde dallanan septalı hifler görüldüve dört hafta sonunda etken Sabouraud dekstroz agar (SDA) ve sikloheksimid vekloramfenikol içeren mikobiyotik agarda üredi. Mikroskobik özellikleri ve mısırunlu tween 80 agarda sık refleksif hiflerin oluşumu, Löwenstein Jensen agardasarı pigment üretimi, Christensen üre besiyerinde pozitif üreaz testi ve SDA’da37ºC’de üreme yetersizliği gibi birkaç fenotipik test sonucuna dayanılarakizolat, diğer dermatofitlerin disgonik kökenleri ile benzer makroskobiközellikleri paylaşan Microsporum ferrugineum olarak tanımlandı. Tedavi amacıylatopikal sertakonazol nitrat başlandı ve bir ay sonra klinik ve mikolojik yanıtgözlendi.Anahtar kelimeler:Dermatofitler, Tinea corporis, mikroskobik özellikler, fenotipik testler
