Abstract
Dermatophytes from the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum cause tinea capitis, a supercial fungal infection of the scalp and scalp hair. The fungi that cause the condition might change over time and space. Tinea capitis mostly affects youngsters, though it can sometimes affect adults. Children between the ages of 3 and 14 are the ones who are most likely to develop it . The lack of fatty acids in sebum, which have a fungi-static effect, has been linked to the increased prevalence in prepubertal children. With poor personal hygiene, congestion, and low socioeconomic level, transmission is exacerbated . The species may evolve over time in any location, particularly as new organisms are brought in via immigration. In order to identify the numerous etiological agents, different clinical kinds, research the epidemiological features, and establish the clinico-mycological association of tinea capitis, a study was carried out in our hospital .
