    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Mycology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Deep cold abscesses are uncommon presentations of fungal infections.
    • Trichophyton violaceum is a dermatophyte typically causing superficial infections.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of deep cold abscesses caused by Trichophyton violaceum are reported.
    • Both patients exhibited compromised cellular immunity.

    Findings:

    • The study highlights a potential association between depressed cellular immunity and severe Trichophyton violaceum infections.
    • Deep cold abscesses may be an indicator of underlying immune dysfunction.

    Implications:

    • This suggests that individuals with weakened cellular immunity may be more susceptible to invasive fungal infections.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the role of immune status in the pathogenesis of deep dermatophyte infections.
