Majocchi granuloma A deep folliculitis caused by dermatophtosis, most commonly due to Trichophyton rubrum infection, but also T violaceum, T mentagrophytes and Epidermophyton floccosum.

Large numbers of macrophages are drawn to the affected area over 7 to 10 days, surround the target, and enclose it. They in turn are surrounded by polymorphonuclear leukocytes, other immune cells, and fibroblasts. Granulomas are common in many conditions, including leprosy, tuberculosis, cat scratch disease, some fungal infections, and foreign body reactions, e.g., reactions to sutures. granulomatous (gran?yu-lo'ma-tus), adjective See: giant cell; tuberculosis; Wegener granulomatosis GRANULOMA ANNULAREgranuloma annulareA circular rash with a raised red border, usually found on the hands, knuckles, or arms of young patients.
