Abstract

Deep dermatophytosis and nocardiosis are uncommon infections. This article describes a patient who was immunosuppressed with deep dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton rubrum and concurrent disseminated nocardiosis. The infections occurred 16 years after the patient underwent renal transplantation, and may have been related to tacrolimus therapy.
