- W4313375085 abstract "Tinea capitis is an infectious disease most commonly seen in the pediatric population affecting hair follicles of the head and scalp. The causative microbes are dermatophyte species capable of invading keratinized tissue of the hair. Although the prevalence of causative dermatophyte species differs based on geographical patterns and region of infection, the most common microbes are Microsporum and Trichophyton species. Symptoms of tinea capitis can vary widely including pruritus, scaling, inflammation, broken hairs, patchy alopecia, papules, and pustules. This range of presentation occurs based on the causative dermatophyte, type of hair follicle invasion, and host inflammatory response. The three types of hair follicle invasion are ectothrix, endothrix, and favus forms. The host inflammatory response is classified as non-inflammatory and inflammatory types, which are dependent on both host response to the infective dermatophyte and the propensity of the infective dermatophyte to cause inflammation in hosts. When diagnosing tinea capitis, the gold standard currently is mycological examination. Due to the high cost, invasiveness, and length of time, it takes to perform mycological examination, trichoscopy is a useful method to aid in diagnosis and monitoring of treatment while awaiting results. While performing trichoscopy, the presence of both broken or dystrophic hairs and perifollicular scale is more highly associated with positive mycological cultures than finding dystrophic hairs alone. In the treatment of tinea capitis, the highest cure rates were seen with the use of griseofulvin or terbinafine. The choice in treatment often comes down to cost and local geographic patterns of infectivity. Additional topical treatments have been studied for use within the first 2–4 weeks to aid in reducing the transmission of tinea capitis to others." @default.
