This case report details a 52-year-old man's successful hair regrowth following treatment with griseofulvin for Trichophyton tonsurans-induced scalp ringworm.

In this case report, a 34-year-old woman with black dot tinea capitis did not respond to oral Itraconazole but was successfully treated with Terbinafine.

A woman's scalp infection caused by a fungus led to permanent hair loss and was hard to treat but responded to a specific antifungal.

This case report described a 50-year-old male with end-stage renal disease who experienced improvement in his black dot tinea capitis after treatment with griseofulvin and ketoconazole shampoo.

This case report describes a 4-year-old African American boy with tinea capitis characterized by itchy, scaly patches and hair loss, diagnosed through microscopic examination after initial treatments were only partially effective.

This case report describes a rare instance of tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans in a Chinese patient, followed by the development of herpes zoster, suggesting a potential link to immunosuppression.

This study reported a predominance of adult patients, mostly women, with Trichophyton violaceum tinea capitis in southern Taiwan, noting a bimodal age distribution and questioning whether this represents a new trend.

This review discusses treatment options for tinea capitis in children and reports no new clinical results; the authors recommend newer antifungal agents in cases of griseofulvin treatment failure.

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.

This report describes a rare case of Trichophyton violaceum infection with conidia formation in a young boy, likely contracted in Dalian, China, and documents a method for visualizing conidia formation.

This study found that trichoscopy can rapidly and noninvasively diagnose tinea capitis and alopecia areata in pediatric patients by identifying specific hair patterns associated with each condition.

This study aimed to identify trichoscopic features that help differentiate between tinea capitis and alopecia areata in children, enhancing diagnosis and treatment decisions visually and non-invasively.

This study found trichoscopy to be a highly sensitive, non-invasive method for diagnosing tinea capitis in children, which could be valuable in resource-limited settings lacking mycological culture facilities.

This report describes a case of tinea capitis caused by Epidermophyton floccosum, highlighting its unusual ability to perforate hair and act as an etiological agent for the condition.

This study found trichoscopy to be a quick and effective method for diagnosing and monitoring tinea capitis in children, with improvements in trichoscopic features observed by week 2 and full recoveries confirmed mycologically by week 8.

This study reported that polarized dermoscopy was better for visualizing vascular patterns, scaling, and reticular pigmentation, while nonpolarized mode better documented features like black dots and tapered hair in various hair and scalp conditions.

This article reviews the use of dermoscopy as a noninvasive tool for diagnosing various types of nonscarring alopecia but presents no new clinical findings.

This article reviews trichoscopic techniques for diagnosing common hair loss conditions and presents a revised algorithm for identifying specific features of cicatricial and noncicatricial alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

This article describes various hair and scalp examination techniques, including noninvasive, semi-invasive, and invasive methods, noting that trichoscopy is a simple, well-accepted, noninvasive technique for evaluating hair loss patients and monitoring treatment.

This review reports that tinea capitis is uncommon in adults, with postmenopausal African American or Black women at higher risk, and emphasizes the importance of prompt antifungal treatment to prevent complications.

In this study, researchers reported that dermatoscopy effectively differentiates between various types of alopecia and scalp disorders, offering a fast, minimally invasive diagnostic method that improves the standard of care and reduces the necessity for scalp biopsies.

This review discusses treatments for tinea capitis, noting that while griseofulvin remains a common choice, shorter treatment options like terbinafine, itraconazole, and fluconazole show promise but require further studies.

This case report found that dermoscopy, showing characteristic "comma" and "corkscrew" hairs, effectively identified tinea capitis in a 7-year-old girl, allowing for early treatment before confirmation with fungal culture.

This study observed that tinea capitis is prevalent among school children in Karachi, with T. violaceum as the most common organism and asymptomatic carriers possibly facilitating its spread.

A fungal infection can look like a different scalp condition in teens, leading to wrong treatment until proper tests are done.

This review discusses systemic antifungal treatments for tinea capitis in children, noting that newer agents like terbinafine and itraconazole require shorter courses than the traditional griseofulvin, but may be more costly.

This article reviews tinea capitis as a common infectious scalp condition in children, reporting no new findings.

This study presents three cases where tinea capitis in children mimicked cicatricial alopecia and explores host and fungal factors that may influence the disease's presentation and treatment.

In this study of 50 rural children with tinea capitis, 64% had the non-inflammatory type, while 28% had the inflammatory type, with most cases showing positive results in KOH examinations.

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.
