Tinea capitis in the neonatal period is extremely rare. To our knowledge, there have been only a few reports of neonatal tinea capitis in the Korean dermatologic literature. We report an additional case of neonatal tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis. The patient was successfully treated with oral griseofulvin.

Recently the frequency of Microsporum canis, as a causative dermatophyte of tinea capitis, is increasing in our country. We herein report a case of tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis in an eight-day-old infant. Infection was contracted, presumably, from a kitten who had tinea corporis caused by the same species of Microsporum and who lived in the patients house. It is extremely rare for tinea capitis to occur in the neonatal period. Although only one case had been reported in the foreign literature, to our knonwledge, a case has never been reported in Korea. We believe that this patient is the youngest patient with Miicrosporum canis infection of the scalp yet reported, and it is also of interest that he has atypical lesions with black-dot-like non-inflammatory alopecic patches on the scalp.

Kerion celsi is an inflammatory dermatophytosis of the scalp which is characterized by an acute suppurative process caused mainly by zoophilic dermatophytes. Systemic corticosteroid can be added to systemic antifungal treatment for reducing scarring alopecia, but focal cicatricial changes are unavoidable in a severe case. We report a case of kerion celsi caused by T. mentagrophytes, zoophilic dermatophyte, in a 7-year-old girl. This patient had localized painful erythematous crusted plaques with multiple inflammatory pustules on the scalp. Although she was initially treated with antifungal agent and systemic corticosteroid, focal scarring alopecia occurred eventually. Eventually, the cicatricial change was corrected surgically after two and a half years in spite of timely and appropriate treatment.
