Histological Study in Tinea Capitis: Histologische Untersuchungen bei Tinea capitis

Summary: Histological studies in 50 cases of tinea capitis caused mainly by Trichophyton violaceum have shown three distinct varieties which correlated with their clinical types. Findings in the present and previous studies on tinea capitis correlate a higher incidence of the disease in noninflammatory types and a lower incidence in the inflammatory types. Existence of two different subspecies of T. violaceum is surmised from the present study.
