This study evaluated the prevalence of Tinea capitis among schoolchildren at one primary school and also identified the causative agents. Scalp flakes were collected from children presenting clinical signs suggestive of Tinea capitis. Dermatophytes were identified by following standard mycological procedures. This study found a clinical prevalence of Tinea capitis of 9.6% (110/1149). The dermatophytes isolated were Microsporum audouinii, Trichophyton violaceum, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The most prevalent causative agent in this study was Microsporum audouinii, thus confirming the findings from previous cross-sectional studies carried out in the city of Maputo.
本研究评估了一所小学学童头癣的患病率，并确定了病原体。从出现头癣临床症状的儿童中采集头皮鳞屑。按照标准真菌学程序鉴定皮肤癣菌。本研究发现头癣的临床患病率为9.6%（110/1149）。分离出的皮肤癣菌为奥杜盎小孢子菌、紫色毛癣菌和须癣毛癣菌。本研究中最常见的病原体是奥杜盎小孢子菌，从而证实了此前在马普托市进行的横断面研究结果。
