Abstract
Since Trichophyton (T.) tonsurans was isolated from a middle school wrestler in 1995, its infection has been raging among amateur wrestlers and judoists as trichophytosis gladiatorum. We describe herein two cases of T. tonsurans infection in a 16-year-old judoist girl and her 51-year-old mother, because they might mean the first step of the spread of this particular organism from its large reservoir to the general population.
