Three Cases of Recalcitrant Pediatric Tinea Capitis Successfully Treated with Griseofulvin
Ann Dermatol. 2023 Nov;35(Suppl 2):S247-S251. doi: 10.5021/ad.21.254.ABSTRACTTinea capitis is an infection of the scalp hair follicles and surrounding skin that primarily occurs in prepubertal children. Microsporum canis remains the most common pathogen causing tinea capitis in Asian countries, including South Korea, although the causative organism of this condition varies across geographical regions and time periods. Systemic antifungal agents are the mainstay treatments for tinea capitis; however, the therapeutic responses to antifungal drugs may vary depending on the causative species, and treatment failure may occur ow...

In vitro virulotyping, antifungal susceptibility testing and DNA fingerprinting of Microsporum canis strains of canine and feline origin
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2023 Nov 20;104:102100. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102100. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicrosporum canis is considered the common dermatophyte agent associated with ringworm in felines and canines. In the present study, we sampled n = 548 felines and canines for the probable isolation of M. canis. The rate of isolation from the cats and dogs was 70.27 % (52/74) and 1.68 % (8/474), respectively and Persian cats were found to be highly susceptible to M. canis infection. The strains were evaluated for their production of phospholipase, lipase, catalase, and hemolysis and their ability to gr...
