A case of a tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton schoenleinii is presented. It involves a 6-year old Tunisian boy that had presented with diffuse scaling of the scalp misdiagnosed as psoriasis and was treated unsuccessfully with keratolytic shampoos for two years. Tinea favosa due to Trichophyton schoenleinii was confirmed by mycological examination. He was successfully treated with griseofulvin for 6 weeks and topical application of imidazole. Trichophyton schoenleinii is an important anthropophilic dermatophyte that causes tinea favosa. It is transmitted by contagion between humans and is currently endemic in Africa. Ringworm is still frequent in Tunisia, but favus is becoming exceptional due to improvements in living conditions and hygiene.
本文报告了一例由许兰毛癣菌引起的头癣病例。患者为一名6岁的突尼斯男孩，头皮出现弥漫性脱屑，最初被误诊为银屑病，使用角质溶解洗发水治疗两年均未成功。真菌学检查确诊为许兰毛癣菌引起的黄癣。他接受灰黄霉素治疗6周并外用咪唑，治疗成功。许兰毛癣菌是一种重要的嗜人皮肤癣菌，可引起黄癣。它通过人与人之间的接触传播，目前在非洲呈地方性流行。头癣在突尼斯仍然很常见，但由于生活条件和卫生状况的改善，黄癣已变得罕见。
