First report of kerion (tinea capitis) caused by combined Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis

A 5-year-old boy was presented with large ulcer accompanied by surrounding follicular pustules on the left parietal scalp. Dermoscopy showed “comma” and dystrophic broken hairs. Fungal culture showed mixed growth of two types of colonies. Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis were identi...

description A 5-year-old boy was presented with large ulcer accompanied by surrounding follicular pustules on the left parietal scalp. Dermoscopy showed “comma” and dystrophic broken hairs. Fungal culture showed mixed growth of two types of colonies. Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis were identified by using mycological examinations. To our knowledge, this is the first case of kerion caused by the combined Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis. Treatment with oral terbinafine for 2 months was effective.
