    Author: García-Sánchez MS, Pereiro M, Pereiro MM, Toribio J.
    Journal: Dermatology; 1997; 194(2):177-9. PubMed ID: 9094471.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of favus affecting the temporal region of the scalp in a 22-month-old boy. Mycological study of hairs and crusts identified Trichophyton mentagrophytes var. quinckeanum (T. quinckeanum), the causative agent of mouse favus. Treatment with oral griseofulvin led to healing.
