Scopulariopsis brevicaulis (Saccardo) Bainier is a member of the Fungi Imperfecti. It is a mould which, like many species of Fungi Imperfecti, is widely distributed throughout the world. Of the many species in the genus Scopulariopsis, this organism has attracted the most attention. A review of the literature shows that it is important not only as a saprophyte but also as a parasite. As a human parasite it is most commonly encountered as a dermatophyte. Reviews by Dodge (1935), Raper and Thom (1949), Conant et al. (1954) and more recent reports such as Fischer's review of clinical cases (1960) and a report from Poland by Kapica (1960) indicate that S. brevicaulis is isolated from clinical material more frequently than any other recognized species belonging to this genus.
