Tinea pedis and tinea unguium in a 7-year-old child.

This report documents tinea pedis and tinea unguium in a 7-year-old child. In all cultures Trichophyton rubrum was present. As tinea pedis and tinea unguium affect adults more often than children, they might be overlooked and misdiagnosed in the latter.
