A retrospective study was undertaken of 192 cases of culture proven tinea capitis occurring between 1979 and 1988 in a predominantly white population of children in New South Wales (NSW). The aim of the study was to identify whether Trichophyton tonsurans was increasing in importance in the causation of this condition in Australia as it was in many other parts of the world. The results of our study were compared with those of earlier Australian studies. Our study demonstrated that Trichophyton tonsurans is now equal in importance to Microsporum canis which was previously the strongly predominant organism.
对1979年至1988年间在新南威尔士州（NSW）以白人儿童为主的人群中确诊的192例头癣病例进行了回顾性研究。该研究的目的是确定须癣毛癣菌在澳大利亚导致这种疾病的重要性是否像在世界其他许多地区一样正在增加。我们将研究结果与早期澳大利亚的研究结果进行了比较。我们的研究表明，须癣毛癣菌现在与犬小孢子菌的重要性相当，而犬小孢子菌以前是主要的优势菌种。
