Abstract
|
|
|
|
Tinea capitis is rare in Korea, especially in adults. Microsporum canis has been the most common cause of tinea capitis in Korea from the middle of the 1970s. The infection may occur from animal to man (zoophilic). We report two cases of tinea capitis occurring in a 60-year-old female and a 73-years-old female who developed a kerion celci form and seborrheic dermatitis-like form. From the two patients Microsporum canis was isolated.
