  • Title: Tinea capitis due to Microsporum canis in infants.
    Author: Alteras I, Feuerman EJ, Grunwald M, Shvili D.
    Journal: Mycopathologia; 1984 May 30; 86(2):89-91. PubMed ID: 6738675.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of scalp involvement by M. canis in infants are briefly reported. The first was a 2-month-old female with a few erythematous spots on the scalp, the second an 8-month-old male with lesions resembling seborrhoeic dermatitis and the third an 11-month-old male having areas of folliculitis of a kerion type. The father of the second case was found to have a tinea barbae infection due to the same fungus. Stray kittens were the most probable source of infection in all these cases.
