The symptoms of a highly contagious fungal disease which has infected at least two women in the US after scaly rashes appeared on their bodies have been shared.
The two women, a 28-year-old and a 47-year-old, are the first two patients known to have been struck down with the drug-resistant ringworm, also known as tinea, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The fungal infections, which are becoming increasingly common due to higher temperatures driven by climate change, are said to be resistant to medication, health experts have said.
