| Abstract: | Mycological examination of 600 cases of tinea capitis in Tripoli showed Trichophyton violaceum to be the most common isolate, followed by Microsporum canis, Trichophyton schoenleinii and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The various clinical patterns which scalp ringworm may present is discussed and attention is drawn to the relatively common non-inflammatory seborrhoeic or dry scaly pattern. |
