“…Sharp and blunt trauma have been shown to predispose the scalp to dermatophyte infection. 17,18 Hair oils may promote the transmission of the disease, 19 but their precise role has not been determined. To our knowledge, only one other study, 15 published in 1968, has evaluated the role of hair care in patients with TC.…”

“…When it is reported in children, interfamilial spread appears to play a likely role in transmission and acquisition of spores. Further, only one such pediatric case is reported from the United States (7,9–12). The identification of T. rubrum in this child was of particular interest, not only due to the rarity of the isolate itself, but because there was no immediately identifiable source for the pathogen in family members or close contacts.…”

While the primary etiologic agent of tinea capitis in the United States has varied over the past century, the last several decades have been marked by a predominance of infection with Trichophyton tonsurans. Related anthropophilic organisms commonly isolated in other dermatophytoses are infrequently observed in tinea capitis. We report the unusual occurrence of tinea capitis in a young boy infected with Trichophyton rubrum.

“…Contagion between humans (usually contact with infected family members) and fomites (bathtubs, floors, carpets, combs, toys) are the most common sources of T. rubrum contagion in families or communities (kindergartens). Sometimes inoculation of the fungus is associated with trauma [33]. In cases in which the method of transmission is unclear, healthy adult carriers have been hypothesized.…”
