“…Currently, favus is common mainly in African countries-Nigeria (8) and Ethiopia (9)-and western China (5,10) and geographic regions where lifestyles are associated with malnutrition and poverty (11,12). The disease has also been reported sporadically in Iran (13), Turkey (14, 15), Western Europe (3), and South America (11).…”

Trichophyton schoenleinii is an anthropophilic dermatophyte mainly causing tinea favosa of the scalp in certain regions of the world, especially Africa and Asia. We investigated the in vitro susceptibilities of 55 T. schoenleinii isolates collected over the last 30 years from Iran, Turkey, and China to 12 antifungals using the CLSI broth microdilution method. Our results revealed that terbinafine and ketoconazole were the most potent antifungal agents among those tested, independently of the geographic regions where strains were isolated.

“…[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] T. schoenleinii infection, which causes tinea favosa, has been shown to be quite rare in the cited regions and countries. 22 This had the goal of adding up epidemiological data on the matter, based on data obtained at the Dermatology Department at Botucatu Medical School-Unesp (Dermatology-FMB), which sees both urban and rural population coming from the interior of the State of São Paulo.…”

FUNDAMENTOS: Tinea capitis é importante infecção fúngica de interesse dermatológico e pediátrico. No Brasil sua prevalência é desconhecida, e os agentes causais principais são o Trichophyton tonsurans nas regiões Norte-Nordeste e o Microsporum canis no Sul-Sudeste do país. Conhecimento sobre gênero e espécies mais prevalentes tem importância sanitária e terapêutica. OBJETIVOS: Identificar espécies de dermatófitos, causa de Tinea capitis, em serviço universitário que atende clientela do Sistema Único de Saúde, de procedência urbana e rural, no interior do Estado de São Paulo. MÉTODOS: Amostras de casos clínicos suspeitos de Tinea capitis, procedentes da área de abrangência da Faculdade de Medicina de Botucatu-Unesp, foram investigadas por exame direto e cultivo visando ao diagnóstico e isolamento do agente causal. RESULTADOS: De 1.055 suspeitas, 594 foram confirmadas por exame direto, em 364 (61,1%) isolou-se o agente: M. canis em 88,2%, seguindo-se T. tonsurans (4,7%), T. rubrum (3,3%), M. gypseum (1,9%), T. mentagrophytes (1,6%). O sexo masculino correspondeu a 55,7% dos casos, e a faixa etária entre 0-5 anos predominou com 62,6% (p < 0,05). CONCLUSÕES: A prevalência detectada do M. canis superou o esperado para a Região Sudeste do Brasil. A freqüência de 88,2% pode estar influenciada por pacientes procedentes da zona rural. Esse dado deve ser considerado quando de decisão terapêutica.

“…Foci have been seen worldwide, including Southern and Northern Africa, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Australia, South America, the Middle East and Poland. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The typical lesion of tinea favosa is as follows: platelike yellow tinea favosa scab on the center with hair crossing through, besides it smells-like rat's urine and has untypical pale scales. 12 Gradually it develops into atrophic scar, which leads to permanent baldness.…”
