In this study, researchers examined 1,000 South Asian patients misusing topical corticosteroids for dermatophytosis and found that this misuse resulted in atypical, chronic, and recurrent fungal infections called steroid-modified dermatophytosis, often involving extensive and atypical skin presentations.

This report highlights the use of trichoscopy in diagnosing tinea capitis in a 17-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus, revealing specific trichoscopic features like corkscrew hairs, which confirmed a fungal infection leading to successful treatment with terbinafine.

In this report, two adult cases of tinea capitis with unusual symptoms like pustules and non-scarring alopecia were diagnosed based on clinical and pathological findings, and successfully treated with oral Griseofulvin and topical luliconazole cream.

In this case report, a 2-month-old girl with tinea capitis showed significant improvement after treatment with oral griseofulvin and topical ketoconazole. The study emphasizes the importance of layered diagnostics and systemic therapy for effective management of this fungal scalp infection in infants.

In this case report, a 28-year-old woman's tinea capitis, diagnosed using a Wood's lamp, was successfully treated with oral itraconazole and ketoconazole shampoo over eight weeks.

In this case report, an elderly woman was diagnosed with tinea capitis and eyebrow involvement, which was initially misdiagnosed as alopecia areata, illustrating the importance of trichoscopy in correctly identifying this infection even in uncommon sites like the eyebrow.

In this case study, a 3-year-old with tinea capitis achieved complete resolution following treatment, highlighting hair salons as potential indirect transmission sites for infection and emphasizing trichoscopy's diagnostic value when traditional signs like Wood’s lamp fluorescence are missing.

In this study, researchers explored the diverse causes of alopecia in dogs, highlighting how factors such as infection, hormonal imbalances, and genetic conditions contribute to hair loss, and emphasized the importance of tailored diagnostics and treatment strategies.

In this case study, a 5-month-old cat with dermatophytosis caused by Microsporum canis showed resolution of skin symptoms and hair regrowth after receiving topical antifungal shampoo and systemic itraconazole treatment for two weeks.

In this proof-of-concept study, researchers found that hair grafts preserved in preconditioned autologous platelet-rich plasma with photothermal biostimulation and phosphate-buffered saline remained viable for eight hours before transplantation, outperforming saline solution and Ringer's lactate by two hours.

This case report describes an 8-year-old male with tinea capitis and Trichorrhexis invaginata, who showed significant improvement after treatment with oral micronized griseofulvin.

This review examines the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of dermatophytosis (ringworm) in dogs and cats, highlighting the role of Microsporum canis and the public health implications of zoophilic dermatophytes, affecting roughly 20-25% of the global population.

In a tropical, high-burden region, this study found that tinea corporis and tinea cruris were the most common types of dermatophytosis, particularly affecting female adults, and that treatment commonly involved griseofulvin and ketoconazole cream, with Trichophyton mentagrophytes as the prevalent pathogen.

This case report describes an 18-month-old boy who developed a rare phototoxic skin reaction to terbinafine, likely triggered by sunlight exposure, which resolved after treatment with corticosteroid cream and sun avoidance.

This case report describes a three-month-old male Labrador pup with dermatophytosis, diagnosed through clinical signs and a Woods lamp test, which successfully recovered from the infection with a four-week treatment regimen involving topical and oral therapies.

In this study, dermatophytosis in cattle around Parbhani was found to have a prevalence of 17.2%, with Clove oil treatment showing the quickest recovery in 7 days.

This case study from Morocco reports the country's first suspected instance of Tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans, identified in a 25-year-old member of the national judo team, highlighting the need for screening and improved hygiene in sports environments to prevent potential outbreaks.

This study reported a case of equine ringworm infection in a 2-year-old horse caused by Nannizzia gypsea, confirmed through culture and SYBR-Green real-time PCR techniques, demonstrating that qPCR allows specific detection of dermatophytes more rapidly than conventional methods.

This review identifies four common types of hair loss in children—alopecia related to tinea capitis, alopecia areata, traction alopecia, and telogen effluvium—while noting trichotillosis and other rarer causes, including pressure-induced and congenital factors, as additional potential causes of alopecia in this population.

This study reviews the diverse clinical presentations of tinea capitis, such as gray patches, a "black dot" appearance, and kerion, highlighting its complex differential diagnosis with conditions like alopecia areata and psoriasis.

In this in-vitro study, neem leaf extract, combined with oils from Eucalyptus citriodora and Cymbopogon martini, inhibited dermatophyte growth responsible for tinea capitis, showing potential for developing a treatment formulation against the infection.

In this case study, treatment with terbinafine effectively resolved symptoms of tinea capitis in an eight-year-old male, highlighting trichoscopy as a valuable diagnostic tool for this common fungal scalp infection and proposing its integration with clinical data for quicker diagnosis in settings lacking mycological facilities.

This study presented a case of tinea capitis in a 4-year-old without typical symptoms and traced the infection to Microsporum canis carried by domestic cats, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, especially in households with pets.

This study reported the presence of dermatophyte macroconidia directly in clinical samples from a 3-year-old boy with tinea capitis, marking the first time this has been documented. The infection, caused by Microsporum ferrugineum, was successfully treated with systemic itraconazole and topical ketoconazole shampoo.

This study reported three cases of tinea corporis caused by Microsporum canis in a household, linked to a domestic cat, where genetic analysis suggested a familial transmission route.

In this case report, researchers document a female dog in tropical conditions with dermatophytosis, a zoonotic fungal infection common in hot and humid climates, showing symptoms like alopecia on the neck and ear tips.

In this study, physiological skin changes like linea nigra (84.4%) and striae distensae (78.4%) were most common in pregnant women, while pathological changes were shown to be significantly associated with gravida and gestational age.

This study found that applying transfer learning with CNN architectures like AlexNet, VGG16, and ResNet50 achieved 99% accuracy in classifying multiclass hair disorders, suggesting a potential technological aid for dermatologists in diagnosing and treating hair conditions.

In this report, a 51-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with recurrent joint pain and irregular patches of hair loss, raising differential diagnoses of androgenetic alopecia, lupus-related alopecia, or seborrheic dermatitis.

This abstract describes a rare case of a young Kashmiri woman with neglected scarring alopecia due to favus, a type of tinea capitis more commonly observed in Kashmiri children.
