Abstract
Persistency, especially in country people, of kerions (Trichophyton of animal origin with pus formation) led the authors to propound the use of general corticosteroid treatment as an original therapy. This concept is emphasized by many concordant features showing the importance of immune alterations in the pathogenesis of kerions. Six cases are reported according to this concept.
