Abstract
Eczema herpeticum (EH) has been reported in association with various skin abnormalities. We experienced a patient with tinea cruris who developed EH within a fungal infection. To our knowledge, dermatophyte infection as an underlying cutaneous disorder for EH has not been previously described in the English literature.
