This study reviewed existing literature on Tinea Capitis, highlighting its frequent occurrence in children, the ease of fungal spread from humans or animals, and the necessity for prompt and proper antifungal treatment due to potential drug resistance and complications like alopecia.

In this case report, a 5-year-old boy presented with an itchy patch of hair loss in the frontotemporal region, with trichoscopy revealing specific hair shaft features, such as black dots and corkscrew hairs.

This study suggests that mutations in exon 10 of the POC1A gene may be linked to a distinct clinical condition characterized by extreme insulin resistance and short stature, differing from SOFT syndrome.

This article discusses alopecia areata in individuals with Down syndrome and reports no new clinical findings.

This case study describes a young girl with sparse, brittle scalp hair and multiple keratotic papules, but no systemic or familial abnormalities were found.

This study reported that severe hair disturbances in infants and young children are associated with acute vitamin deficiencies in tropical America, unlike the milder cases observed in the United States.

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.

Monilethrix Syndrome causes fragile, beaded hair that breaks easily and needs early diagnosis for better care.

In this case report, an atypical form of tinea favosa in an 11-year-old girl was initially misdiagnosed, highlighting the importance of mycological examination for accurate diagnosis, especially when diffuse scalp scaling is present.

In this case report, researchers described a 6-year-old girl with severe mandibuloacral dysplasia type A, noting unique physical deformities and a rare homozygous LMNA gene mutation not commonly associated with the condition.

This case study reports that a 15-year-old girl with epilepsy experienced reversible hair loss linked to topiramate adjunctive therapy.
