Abstract

Nowadays, tinea capitis is not the most frequent clinical presentation of dermatophytoses. Classically, Sabouraud defined this condition as common in childhood and rare in adults. Nevertheless, it is occasionally observed in adults, most frequently in women over 50 years-old. Trichophyton violaceum is one of the species isolated. We report this case for its rarity and to advise the clinician that one should consider a possible fungal infection in adults showing desquamating plaques in the scalp.

摘要

如今，头癣并非皮肤癣菌病最常见的临床表现。传统上，萨布罗（Sabouraud）将这种疾病定义为在儿童中常见，在成人中罕见。然而，偶尔也会在成人中观察到，最常见于50岁以上的女性。紫色毛癣菌是分离出的菌种之一。我们报告此病例是因其罕见，并建议临床医生，对于头皮出现脱屑斑块的成人，应考虑可能存在真菌感染。
