  • Title: Tinea capitis due to Microsporum gypseum in an adult.
    Author: Offidani A, Simoncini C, Arzeni D, Cellini A, Amerio P, Scalise G.
    Journal: Mycoses; 1998; 41(5-6):239-41. PubMed ID: 9715640.
    Abstract:
    A case of tinea capitis due to Microsporum gypseum in an adult is described. An otherwise healthy 69-year-old woman presented two large patches of slightly erythematous scaling alopecia localized on the vertex and on the left parietal region of the scalp. The only subjective sign was itching. A mycological culture was positive for Microsporum gypseum. Tinea capitis is uncommon in adults; furthermore, isolation of Microsporum gypseum from this type of lesion is rare.
