  • Title: [Tinea capitis et corporis due to Microsporum canis in an immunocompromised female adults patient].
    Author: Möhrenschlager M, Seidl HP, Holtmann C, Ring J, Abeck D.
    Journal: Mycoses; 2003; 46 Suppl 1():19-22. PubMed ID: 12955848.
    Abstract:
    Tinea capitis as well as tinea corporis in adults may occur under conditions of immunosuppression. If suspected clinically, direct microscopy and examination by culture is indispensable. Therapeutic intervention should start without delay. A proven fungal infection of scalp hairs warrants immediate initiation of systemic treatment. Hereby prevention of disfiguring hair loss, permanent formation of scar tissue, spread of fungal organisms to other cutaneous regions as well as infection of other persons is possible.
