ABSTRACT
Kerion celsi is an inflammatory type of tinea capitis. It is a deep, boggy swelling and is painful. Patchy hair loss and broken hairs, inflammation and scaling are characteristic. We report a case of kerion celsi caused by Trichophyton(T.) mentagrophytes in 4 year-old boy. He presented with 6 cm x 7 cm and 2cm x 2cm sized erythematous boggy masses with multiple pustules and crusts on the vertex. Cultures from a scalp lesion of the patient on Sabouraud dextrose agar media showed T. mentagrophytes. Treatment was done systemically with itraconazole and prednisolone for 14 weeks.
