Erythema Nodosum Associated with Kerion: A Case Series and Narrative Review of the Literature.

Kerion is a form of inflammatory tinea capitis, a fungal infection caused by various zoophilic, geophilic, and anthropophilic pathogens. Erythema nodosum (EN), a form of septal panniculitis, can be considered a dermatophyte id reaction that occurs outside the primary site of dermatophyte infection. The association between EN and kerion is rarely reported, with most cases following scalp infections.
