  • Title: Electron microscopic observation on infected hairs of kerion caused by Microsporum nanum.
    Author: Zhu WY, Xia MY, Huang L, Wu SX, Zhong Q, Zhao B.
    Journal: Int J Dermatol; 1987 Dec; 26(10):641-4. PubMed ID: 3429098.
    Abstract:
    Microsporum nanum can afflict human hair, although pigs are the usual focus of infection. Although this dermatophyte was thought to invade hair as an endothrix, electron microscopic studies show it to cause ectothrix infection due to its keratinolytic activities.
