Abstract
This case study illustrates a 24-year-old Chinese man who presented with tinea capitis associated with a fungal infection. He was administered a therapeutic regimen consisting of terbinafine, ketoconazole cream, and miconazole shampoo for 2 months. However, the symptoms recurred 3 months after the treatment ended. Fungal culture and sequencing confirmed the infection of Hortaea werneckii. Drug sensitivity testing showed that the infecting strain of the patient remained sensitive to the five commonly used antifungal drugs in vitro. While most cases infected by Hortaea werneckii present with Tinea nigra, the possibility of Hortaea werneckii infection should be considered in patients with tinea capitis living in coastal cities.
期刊介绍：
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the latest clinical and experimental research in all aspects of skin disease and cosmetic interventions. Normal and pathological processes in skin development and aging, their modification and treatment, as well as basic research into histology of dermal and dermal structures that provide clinical insights and potential treatment options are key topics for the journal.
Patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new management options to optimize outcomes for target conditions constitute major areas of interest.
The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of clinical studies, reviews and original research in skin research and skin care.
All areas of dermatology will be covered; contributions will be welcomed from all clinicians and basic science researchers globally.
