| etiology of ringworm of the scalp, beard and body in rome, italy. | from 1972 to 1977 the authors examined 1,311 patients in rome affected by ringworm of the scalp, beard and body, comparing their findings with a study made in milan between 1969 to 1973 and with earlier italian studies from 1900 to date. it appears that at the beginning of the century scalp ringworm was usually caused by trichophyton violaceum and t. tonsurans, whereas microsporum canis was rarely found. today the trichophyton species are rarely isolated, whereas microsporum species, particularl ... | 1980 | 7423332 |

| ecology and epidemiology of dermatophyte infections. | our knowledge of ecology and epidemiology of dermatophytes and the factors influencing their transmission has helped us understand better the natural history of dermatophytoses. it seems that the anthropophilic agents of scalp infection are being eradicated in developing nations. the exception is trichophyton tonsurans-related tinea capitis in north america. microsporum canis is a prevalent agent of tinea capitis in many regions of the world, and this could be related to close association of hum ... | 1994 | 8077503 |
