There have been few reports on the generalized tinea caused by mixed infection and its treatment. The article describes a case of combined tiger dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis and opportunistic skin mycosis associated with mixed aspergillosis infection. The infected hair was affected by fungal elements, confirmed by Woods lamp and cultural and morphological studies. Cultural and morphological diagnostics were carried out by inoculation of biomaterial on differential Sabouraud media with cycloheximide. The causative agent of classic dermatomycosis Microsporum canis and the causative agents of opportunistic mycoses fungi of the genus Aspergillus were isolated and identified from the affected foci on the skin of a tiger cub. Dermatosis of combined etiology was diagnosed. The preparations were selected and treated for the generalized mycosis of the tiger cub. Itraconazole was effective for treatment.
