• Alopecia

  It is characterized by one or more large, tender boggy masses with erythema, pustules, crusting, and alopecia. Such a mass is called a kerion. Lymphadenopathy is frequent. [dermis.net]

  A culture of the secretion from the ulcer in the lesion tested negative for bacteria. Mycological examination The affected hair and excretion from the ulcer were taken and prepared with a potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution for direct examination. [mmy.oxfordjournals.org]

LC often has rapid disease progression and poor prognosis. The mean interval between diagnosis of LC and death was reported as 3.8 and 4.8 months respectively in different studies [ 13, 14 ]. The interval time was 2 months for our patient. [clinical-pediatrics-dermatology.imedpub.com]

Diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis We had established that the etiologic agent was M. gypseum based on morphologic features, biochemical test results and molecular methods. [mmy.oxfordjournals.org]

Moreover, the new or previously very sporadic etiologic agents causing kerion have been recently observed in Croatia, such as T. tonsurans, mostly in wrestlers, so far. [aspergillus.org.uk]

Topical application of naftifine-ketoconazole cream after use of ketoconazole shampoo was used to wash out and kill the etiologic agent on the surface of the hair. [mmy.oxfordjournals.org]
