White piedra of scalp hair is considered a rare entity. We report three cases of this disorder all of whom presented with nodules on the hair. Potassium hydroxide preparations of the hair revealed clustered arthrospores and mature, easily detachable nodules. Cultures grew Trichosporon inkin in 2 patients and Trichosporon mucoides in one patient. Both these fungi are unusual causes of white piedra.
头皮毛发白癣被认为是一种罕见的病症。我们报告了三例该疾病,所有患者的头发上均出现了结节。头发的氢氧化钾制剂显示有成群的关节孢子和成熟的、易于脱落的结节。两名患者的培养物中生长出了皮状丝孢酵母,一名患者的培养物中生长出了粘液丝孢酵母。这两种真菌都是引起白癣的不常见病因。
