GRISEOFULVIN TREATMENT OF TINEA CAPITIS DUE TO T-VIOLACEUM

[摘要] Two children with tinea capitis due to Trichophyton violaceum were treated by oral griseofulvin under strict control as hospital in-patients. Clinical and microscopic cure was achieved after 92-100 days of treatment. The antibiotic did not cause any serious toxic reactions in the dosage employed. An active shedding of infected hairs was noticed during the early stages of treatment.
