Correlation between dermoscopy and direct microscopy in Tineabarbae

E Gómez-Moyano et al. J Mycol Med. 2021 Mar.

Abstract

Tineabarbae is a rare form of dermatophytosis that affects hair follicles of the beard and moustache. Dermoscopy could prove useful to identify parasitism of hair of the beard, just as it has proven useful in the diagnosis of Tineacapitis. We present the first fully documented case series of T. barbae with clinical, dermoscopic and mycological features.

Keywords: Dermatophytosis; Dermoscopic features; Dermoscopy; Tineabarbae; Trichoscopic features; Trichoscopy.
