Children with tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans often have a lifetime of association with the organism and, in spite of intermittent therapy, as adults pass the infection to successive generations. While most current treatment regimens are directed at treating the individual patient, our study supports the need to evaluate and possibly treat all family members and their home environment.
由断发毛癣菌引起头癣的儿童通常会终生携带这种病菌，尽管接受了间歇性治疗，但成年后仍会将感染传给下一代。虽然目前大多数治疗方案都是针对个体患者，但我们的研究支持评估并可能治疗所有家庭成员及其家庭环境的必要性。
