Abstract
- Kerion celsi is an inflammatory type of tinea capitis and presents an inflammatory, boggy mass studded with broken hairs, oozing purulent material from follicular orifices. But it occurs usually in children and rarely in normal, healthy adults. We present an unusual case of kerion celsi caused by M. canis in a 69-year-old woman.
