Tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans

Abstract
Children with tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton tonsurans often have a lifetime of association with the organism and, in spite of intermittent therapy, as adults pass the infection to successive generations. While most current treatment regimens are directed at treating the individual patient, our study supports the need to evaluate and possibly treat all family members and their home environment.
