Abstract
|
|
|
In Korea, Kerion celsi caused by T. verrucosum was first reported by Kim et al in the Honam province in 1986. Since then three more cases have been reported in the Young Nam province. Herein present a cse of kerion celsi caused by T. verrucosum
from
Chungcheong province.
The patient, a 7-year old female, showed a 4×4 cm sized, oval, yellow crusted and boggy patch with alopecia on the scalp. She was living on a farm in a rural area of Chungcheong province. Cows on the farm also exhibited similar skin lesions on
the
buttock. The same T. verrucosum was identified by a characteristic colony morphology on Sabouraud's dextrose agar and chains of chlamydoconidia with mycologic stain from scales of lesions of patient and cows.
This skin lesion was successfully treated with griseofulvin. (Kor J Dermatol 1997; 35(1) : 187∼190)
