Abstract
|
|
|
|
Kerion Celsi is a highly inflammatory, suppurative fungal infection of the scalp caused by zoophilic or geophilic dermatophytes. We report a case of Kerion Celsi caused by Trichophyton verrucosum in a 19-year-old female presenting with an indurated, pus-discharging, erythematous boggy mass on the frontal scalp for 2 weeks. Restriction fragment length polymorphism shows 100% concordance with Trichophyton verrucosum, which we had maintained as our standard strain. Systemic treatment with steroid and antifungal agents was administered.
