Epidemiologic trends in pediatric tinea capitis: A population-based study from Kaiser Permanente Northern California
Conclusions: In this cohort, there was a significant decrease in incidence of TC over the study period. Trichophyton tonsurans continued to be the predominant organism. These trends may be a result of improved education, recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of TC and increased use of new oral antifungals.
