Recent advance in the pathogenesis of tinea capitis

Abstract

Abstract:

Tinea capitis is a common superficial fungal infection of the scalp primarily afflicting young children.Epidemiologic data suggest that tinea capitis has been on the rise.The patients sometimes experience atrophic scar and permanent hair loss,especially after longstanding inflammation.So understanding the pathogenesis of tinea capitis is very significant.But at present it is not clear and there are no reviews about it in our country.This report introduced the recent research progress about pathogenesis of tinea capitis after reviewing lots of literatures.

Key words: tinea capitis, pathogenesis, scanning electron microscopic, protease, host-pathogen interactions
