Kerion Microsporicum With Hematogenous and Ectogenous Microsporids

A rare case of kerion of the scalp due to microsporosis is reported in a 6-year-old Portuguese child, presenting with a circular patch of alopecia and broken hairs with gray scales. The condition was identified using a Wood light, which showed fluorescence. Initial treatment included tincture of iodine and a mild salve of salicylic acid and resorcin. Over time, the condition progressed to a crusted lesion and eventually developed into a typical kerion formation. This case is notable for its combination with hematogenous and ectogenous microsporid manifestations, including papular exanthem and lichen spinulosus.
