ABSTRACT
We report a case of kerion celsi caused by Trichophyton(T.) tonsurans in a 14-year-old student of a middle school wrestling team. The lesion was on the scalp for 1 month and 6.5X5.0X1.0 cm sized, markedly inflammatory, swollen, boggy pus exuding plaque. Culture from the scalp lesion of the patient on Sabouraud dextrose agar showed T. tonsurans. The patient was treated with 250 mg of terbinafine daily for 12 weeks and short term therapy of low dose of prednisolone. Skin lesions were completely cured and recurrence is not observed to date.
