    Abstract:
    We describe an outbreak of tinea capitis in a kindergarten. Individuals with relation to the institution were examined clinically and mycologically (n = 98). Microsporum audouinii was cultured from 12 people, out of whom eight patients had tinea capitis and seven patients had tinea corporis. Three patients had both tinea capitis and tinea corporis. The problems with spread of anthropophilic infections and the difficulties with treatment of Microsporum dermatophytes are discussed.
