The brittle hair fibres from a case of osteogenesis imperfecta were studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Normal hair fibres are extremely difficult to infect with T. mentagrophytes. As a tentative assay for biochemical defects of hair fibres, experimental dermatophytic infection of the hair with T. mentagrophytes was performed. The massive growth induced suggested that the experimental fungal infection may indeed indicate a biochemical defect in the hairs from our case of osteogenesis imperfecta.
通过扫描电子显微镜和透射电子显微镜对一例成骨不全患者的脆发纤维进行了研究。正常头发纤维极难被须癣毛癣菌感染。作为对头发纤维生化缺陷的初步检测，用须癣毛癣菌对头发进行了实验性皮肤癣菌感染。所诱导的大量生长表明，实验性真菌感染可能确实表明我们的成骨不全病例的头发存在生化缺陷。
