토끼에서 전염된 것으로 생각되는 성인에서 발생한 Trichophyton mentagrophytes 에 의한 백선종창 1예 = A Case of Kerion Celsi in an Adult Caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes Probably Transmitted from Rabbit

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Kerion celsi is a severe inflammatory type of tinea capitis that presents as an inflammatory, boggy plaque studded with broken hairs. It usually occurrs in children between the age of 4 and 14 years which is caused by zoophilic pathogens such as Microsporum(M.) canis, Trichophyton(T.) mentagrophytes,and T. verrucosum. Recently various mammals have become a pet in Korea and there has been increase in reports of dermatophytosis transmitted from these pets sporadically. We report a case of kerion celsi caused by T. mentagrophytes probably transmitted from rabbit in a 34-year-old adult male patient. The patient had localized, tender to mild pruritic, erythematous plaque with pustular nodules and irregular hair loss on the right temporal scalp for 2 months. Culture from a scalp lesion of patient on Sabouraud's dextrose agar showed typical T. mentagrophytes. He was treated with 250 mg of terbinafine daily for 12 weeks and short term therapy of low dose of prednisolone. He was cured without recurrence.
