Trichophyton indotineae, a novel dermatophyte species, has caused an epidemic of severe, difficult-to-treat and recalcitrant dermatophytoses in India and South Asia, where it is now common. We present a case of terbinafine-resistant T. indotineae in London, UK, causing extensive dermatophytosis associated with recent travel to Latin America, outside the previously reported risk area.
