Resumo: AIMS: To describe a case of onychomycosis in a child and to alert to the importance of clinical suspicion and an appropriate mycological search. CASE DESCRIPTION: A boy 1 year and 8 months old, previously healthy, had toenail changes for six months. Dermatological examination disclosed hyperkeratosis and discolouration of the nails of the toes, and erythematous, scaly lesions in the interdigital folds. Direct mycological examination and fungal culture were performed and identified a dermatophyte fungus, Microsporum spp. The patient was treated with terbinafine with complete resolution of the condition. CONCLUSIONS: Onychomycosis is the most prevalent disease of the nails, but its occurrence in childhood is uncommon, and the fungus of the genus Microsporum as a causal agent is also rare.

DESCRIÇÃO DO CASO: Um menino de 1 ano e 8 meses, previamente saudável, apresentava alterações ungueais dos pododáctilos há seis meses. Ao exame dermatológico apresentava hiperqueratose e alteração da coloração das unhas dos pododáctilos, além de lesões eritêmato-descamativas nos espaços interdigitais. Realizou-se exame micológico direto e cultura com material das unhas e da pele, que identificaram um fungo dermatófito, o Microsporum spp. O paciente foi tratado com terbinafina, com resolução completa do quadro. CONCLUSÕES: A onicomicose é a doença mais prevalente nas unhas, porém sua ocorrência na infância é incomum e o fungo do gênero Microsporum como agente causal também é raro.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2013-10-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRelato de caso raro ou de especial interesseapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/13577Scientia Medica; Vol. 23 No. 3 (2013); 184-186Scientia Medica; v. 23 n. 3 (2013); 184-1861980-61081806-5562reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
