Notes:
We describe a 6-year-old girl with severe tinea capitis, who required several months of systemic treatment with griseofulvin, before her condition started to improve with eventual partial hair regrowrh.Kerion refers to the severe inflammatory reaction that occurs in some cases of fungal infection of the hair or hair follicles. The word is derived from the Greek, meaning honeycomb. There is usually a painful, inflamed area studded with pustules, which eventually forms nodules and sinuses. The condition is self-limiting, but even with treatment permanent scarring may ensue.
