Article Synopsis
- The study highlights a shift in the causes of tinea capitis, particularly due to changing migration patterns, focusing on 19 cases linked to the rare fungus Microsporum audouinii in South America.
- All patients were male children, averaging 6.1 years old, with the majority residing in Rio de Janeiro.
- Treatment varied due to medication shortages, with griseofulvin and terbinafine prescribed, but terbinafine led to longer recovery times when switched for some patients, indicating ongoing changes in the region's fungal infections.
