Sažetak
A method of treatment of tinea capitis is presented in the case of a 10-year-old boy who was referred to the pediatric surgical unit for the treatment of a skin lesion on the scalp which had persisted for more than two months. The initial dermatological examination led to the clinical diagnosis of inflammation of the scalp, while mycological analysis revealed an uncommon dermatophyte agent, Microsporum gypseum, in the culture. The lesion was subsequently treated with local and oral antifungal agents, but the antifungal therapy was discontinued due to developed liver dysfunction and replaced with treatment using a silver impregnated hydrofiber dressing. During one month of follow-up, the patient's scalp lesion cleared completely. The treatment of tinea capitis is discussed.
