  • Title: Kerion due to microsporum gypseum in a 1-month-old infant.
    Author: Ambooken B, Binitha MP, Chandran B.
    Journal: Int J Trichology; 2013 Oct; 5(4):214-6. PubMed ID: 24778536.
    Abstract:
    Microsporum gypseum is a rare cause of kerion in infancy. Light microscopy, fluorescent microscopy and fungal culture of the infected hair aids in early and correct diagnosis. Griseofulvin is the drug of choice for ectothrix fungi. We report a case of neonatal kerion caused by M. gypseum occurring at the age of 1 month, successfully treated with griseofulvin.
