Abstract EN
We present a case of tinea capitis in a four-week-old infant caused by Trichophyton rubrum; the patient was effectively treated with griseofulvin ultramicrosize.
Although tinea capitis is the most common fungal infection in children, it is rarely seen in immunocompetent infants.
Tinea capitis involves infection of both the hair shaft and pilosebaceous unit, thus mandating treatment with systemic antifungal therapy.
