Clinical and Laboratory Characteristics of a Tinea Capitis Outbreak Among Novice Buddhist Monks

Sixty novice Buddhist monks with tinea capitis confirmed according to clinical presentation and mycological laboratory finding were included in this study. Mixed‐type clinical presentation was observed in approximately half of all cases, together with scarring alopecia (95%) and superficial fungal skin infection at locations other than the scalp (43.3%). The major isolated organism was Trichophyton violaceum, and mixed‐organism infection was found in 27 cases (45%). Slow‐onset presentation and an extensive area of infection were significantly associated with mixed‐type clinical presentation.
