Abstract: Tinea capitis is generally considered as the most frequent fungal infection in childhood, as it accounts for approximately 92% of all mycosis in children. The epidemiology of this disease varies widely ranging from antropophillic, zoophilic, and geophillic dermatophytes, as the main causative agent in different geographic areas, depending on several additional factors. Nowadays, the etiology is considered to vary with age, as well with gender, and general health condition. The former reported extraordinary Tin… Show more

“…Um estudo de caso conduzido por Chokoeva e cols. (2016) mostra a incidência de dois casos distintos de Tinea capitis ocasionado por um fungo filamentoso, o Aspergillus niger (28). Os autores sugeriram esse fungo como sendo um novo agente etiopatogênico da Tinea capitis, além dos fungos dermatófitos.…”

“…Although tinea capitis is the most common fungal infection in children, significant changes have been reported in its epidemiology worldwide, as a result from certain geographic, climatic and cultural differences in one hand, as well as the changes in its etiologic pattern [ 1 ]. All of the three genera dermatophytes can cost the infection – Epidermophyton, Trichophyton and Microsporum [ 2 ]. Most important among them are still Microsporum Canis, Trichophyton verrucosum et.…”

“…The clinical manifestation of the infection and the stage of inflammation vary from mild desquamation to severe suppurative indurated plaques in kerion - like pattern, depending on the nature of the etiologic agent in one hand, as well as the host’s immune response in other [ 1 ]. Furthermore, new etiological agents have been implicated in the aetiology of the disease, mostly associated with atypical clinical manifestation in indigent patients [ 2 ].…”

“…Recent data show increasingly changing patterns in the epidemiology of the most common dermatophytes that cause tinea capitis [2]. The former leading causes of this disorder, such as Trichophyton schoenleinii, are nowadays less commonly cultured, while other species previously regarded as "nonpathogenic" may be seen as the main causative agent in some atypical forms of the disease [2]. Molds should be considered as a potential source of infection in cases of resistant or atypical tinea capitis rather than simply accompaniments of the disease, particularly in some geographic regions.…”

“…Molds should be considered as a potential source of infection in cases of resistant or atypical tinea capitis rather than simply accompaniments of the disease, particularly in some geographic regions. The reorganization of etiologies requires reconsideration of former therapeutic concepts, in view of the higher antibiotic resistance of molds when compared to dermatophytes [2].…”
