dermatophytosis of the scalp: incidence, immune response, and epidemiology.	tinea capitis remains a common infection among the pediatric population of north america. the 'gray patch' microsporum audouinii infections of the 1950's have been supplanted by the 'black dot' ringworm of trichophyton tonsurans. the clinical presentation of t. tonsurans infection is quite variable and may be related to specific host t-lymphocyte response. this dermatophytosis is most frequently incurred from contact with an infected child either directly or via a variety of fomites. current stu ...	1990	2183065

keratinophilic fungi from nigerian soil.	during a survey of keratinophilic fungi in nigerian soil samples, twelve species of fungi were isolated. these included chrysosporium keratinophilum, c. tropicum, curvularia lunata, microsporum audouinii, m. canis, m. fulvum, m. gypseum, m. vanbreuseghemii, trichophyton ajelloi, t. mentagrophytes, t. soudanense and t. yaoundei. these keratinophilic fungi had a higher incidence by occurrence of individual species during the rainy season (may-october) than the dry season (november-april).	1987	3657901
studies on the prevalence of tinea capitis infection in ile-ife, nigeria.	investigations were carried out into the prevalence of tinea capitis infection among school children in ile-ife, nigeria. the prevalence rate of clinical infection was found to be 14.02%. the infection was found to be more frequent among pupils between ages 5 and 10 years, and more prevalent among the poor than the rich (p less than 0.005). families having between 1 and 4 children had lower prevalence than families having minimum of five children (p less than 0.10). approximately one-third of th ...	1985	3982491
a survey of dermatophytes isolated from human patients in the united states from 1979 to 1981 with chronological listings of worldwide incidence of five dermatophytes often isolated in the united states.	a survey of dermatophytes isolated from patients seeking medical advice was made from 1979 to 1981 in the united states. the survey included 54 locations with data from 40 cities and 2 states. correlations of these data with that of the other localities of the world were made to illustrate the dynamic epidemiology of several common dermatophytes. the most often isolated dermatophyte in this survey was trichophyton rubrum having 53.66% of the total for these three calendar years. in a chronologic ...	1984	6727982
five-year follow-up of a man with subcutaneous mycetomas caused by microsporum audouinii.	a black man with subcutaneous mycetomas caused by microsporum audouinii was treated by a combination of griseofulvin, 18.5 g of amphotericin b, excisional surgery, and later, ketoconazole, resulting in a satisfactory arrest or cure of the clinical illness. complications of therapy included residual impaired renal function and a change in hair color from black to a rust brown color. the continued use of the term mycetoma to describe such lesions is justified.	1982	7091057
dermatophytic flora of ankara (turkey).	during the period july 1, 1976, to december 31, 1978, 1,227 dermatophytes were isolated from 2,702 specimens taken from suspected cases of dermatophytosis. the dermatophytic flora was found to consist mainly of anthropophilic species. trichophyton rubrum was by far the most frequently isolated species. tinea capitis was caused in 36.1% of all cases by trichophyton verrucosum, in 13.9% by microsporum canis and trichophyton violaceum, in 11.1% by trichophyton schoenleinii and trichophyton granulos ...	1981	7262383
incidence of dermatophytes in the san francisco bay area.	a total of 1,101 patients was studied for the incidence and distribution of dermatophytes in the san francisco bay area from 1974 to 1978. 267 dermatophytes were isolated and identified. trichophyton rubrum and trichophyton tonsurans were the most prevalent dermatophytes. t. rubrum caused 83% of tinea pedis, 82% of tinea unguium, 80% of tinea manuum and 66% of tinea cruris. t. tonsurans was the major cause of tinea capitis (60%) followed by microsporum canis. microsporum audouinii was not encoun ...	1980	7398991
