Abstract: A 1½-year-old male West African dwarf goat with skin lesions typical of dermatophilosis was involved in this study. Lesions were distributed on the head, neck, back and legs. Skin scrapings were aseptically collected and processed for bacteriological and mycological examination using blood agar and Sabouraud�s Dextrose Agar (SDA), respectively. Dermatophilus congolensis and Blastomyces dermatitides were isolated from the cultures. This study represents an important documentation of such a concurrent infection from a goat in Nigeria.
