A Case of Neonatal Tinea Capitis
Abstract
Tinea capitis in the neonatal period is extremely rare. To our knowledge, there have been only a few reports of neonatal tinea capitis in the Korean dermatologic literature. We report an additional case of neonatal tinea capitis caused by Microsporum canis. The patient was successfully treated with oral griseofulvin.
