Atlarda dermatofitozis göz kapaklarında nadiren şekillenir. Bu makalede, bir dresaj atında gelişen Trichophyton equinum’a bağlı mikotik blefaritisin özellikleri, tanısı ve sağaltımı tanımlanmıştır. Kırık kirpikler ve göz kapaklarındaki dairesel lezyonlardan alınan kıl örneklerin muayenesinde Trichophyton equinum izolasyonu yapıldı. Klinik ve mikolojik sağaltım, lezyonlu bölgelere uygulanan %1’lik terbinafine krem ile gerçekleştirildi.
