This study at Mbarara University of Science and Technology found that T. violaceum is the most common cause of tinea capitis in children in Western Uganda, and systemic therapy is preferred over topical treatments for effective management due to the nature of the infection.

Dermoscopy can help diagnose tinea capitis in children by looking for comma hairs, black dots, and broken hairs with white bands.

This study observed that daily selenium sulfide shampoos successfully removed fungal spores hidden beneath the hair cuticle in patients infected with ectothrix Microsporum canis.

This case report describes an adult Italian woman with endothrix tinea capitis, highlighting the unusual finding of telogen-sparing arthroconidia involvement during the infection.

In this study, Trichophyton tonsurans and Microsporum canis were identified as the primary causes of tinea capitis, with terbinafine treatment showing the highest cure rate. Non-commercial kits surpassed real-time PCR commercial kits in specificity and sensitivity for diagnosis.
