Patients and methods. One hundred twenty-nine children aged 3 to 6 were examined as well as 15 adults working in the school. A survey of the contaminated children or asymptomatic carriers was performed. All the children and adults concerned were treated at the same time, without eviction from school. Results. T. tonsurans was detected in 10 cases of tinea (7.7 p.cent of the persons examined), in 18 cases of cutaneous lesions (13.9 p.cent) and in 25 asymptomatic carriers on the scalp (19.4 p.cent). The majority of the positive cases came from the same school class as the original case:23 of the 26 children (88 p.cent), with 6 tinea, 14 asymptomatic carriers and 13 cutaneous lesions. Only one of the 15 adults exhibited a T. tonsurans cutaneous lesion. Among the 13 families studied, 2 had several members involved, the first being that of the original case (3 tinea and 2 asymptomatic carriers). Discussion. Several important points are underlined by this study:1) the high contagiousness of T. tonsurans; 2) the detection of 2 mechanisms of indirect contamination (rag doll mascot in the class and the family hair-clipper); 3) the one-year time lapse between the arrival of the contaminating child in the class and the survey, explaining the extent of the contamination; 4) the underestimation of the epidemic due to the lack of mycological examinations; 5) the identification of several dermatophytes in the same school:M. corn’s, Tsoudanense and T. tonsurans, and 7) the futility of eviction from school when all the children can be treated.展开更多

Although tinea corporis is well recognized, no data are available for tinea capitis infections in wrestlers. After finding tinea capitis infection in a student wrestler, we aimed to search for possible ringworm infections among wrestlers in a wrestling boarding-school. Of the 32 wrestlers, 29, aged 12-18 years, were affected, of whom 22 had scalp involvement. Trichophyton tonsurans was isolated from 20 of the patients, and T. mentagrophytes from the remaining two. Isolated strains of dermatophytes were susceptible to terbinafine and itraconazole. The patients with tinea capitis received oral terbinafine for 4 weeks, and patients with more than two lesions but without scalp involvement received oral terbinafine for 2 weeks. Overall clinical and mycological cure rate was 72.4% and 70% , respectively, at assessment at week 6. The asymptomatic dermatophyte carrier rate was negative 1 year after control of the epidemic. Terbinafine seems to be an alternative drug for the treatment of tinea capitis caused by T. tonsurans; however, control of an outbreak may be very difficult and effective preventive measures should be considered.展开更多

Objectives: To review clinical, mycological and epidemiological data in a series of 10 infants aged under 1 year diagnosed as having tinea capitis in three Spanish hospitals between 1998 and 2 002. Methods: A retrospective case note study. Results There were six boys and f our girlswith a mean of age 7 months (range 1· 5- 12). All the children were b orn in Spain, but in five cases the parents were immigrants from Africa. In thes e cases the isolated dermatophytes were two Trichophyton tonsurans, one T. verru cosum and two Microsporum audouinii. Four autochthonous cases were caused byM. c anis and one by M. audouinii (but this one was in contact with African immigrant s). In two of the five cases produced by anthropophilic dermatophytes other fami ly members were infected by the same fungus. Most cases were treated successfull y with griseofulvin. Conclusions: Although tinea capitis is rare in infants in t heir first year of life, the condition should be investigated if scaling and/or alopecia are present. A thorough epidemiological study of other family members i s mandatory.展开更多
