This report describes two cases of tinea capitis in young siblings, with cultures showing M. canis and Rhodotorulla, and notes improvement after treatment with ketoconazole lotion and shampoo for two months.

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.

This case report describes successful treatment of a 7-year-old girl with gray patch tinea capitis using oral micronized griseofulvin and topical ketoconazole shampoo, resulting in complete clinical and microscopic clearance.

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 case study reports that a 9-year-old Nepalese boy with tinea capitis successfully recovered with systemic antifungal therapy, though experienced focal alopecia without recurrence at a two-year follow-up.

This analysis concludes that while dermoscopy can aid in diagnosing tinea capitis, further research is needed to establish its independent diagnostic validity.

This study suggests that using a dermoscope, a handheld microscope, can effectively help distinguish between Pityrosporum folliculitis and Acne vulgaris by revealing unique lesion characteristics that are not visible to the naked eye, offering a practical diagnostic alternative when KOH examinations are unavailable.

This study found that a new 12-point scale provided a more precise measurement system for evaluating hair damage and improvement after hair care product use compared to a 5-point scale.

This review highlights the light microscopic features of various infectious and non-infectious hair conditions and reports no new clinical results.
