ABSTRACT
We report three cases of kerion celsi caused by Trichophyton tonsurans in 16-year-old students of one high school wrestling team. The first case presented a 10x5cm and several 3~4cm sized, markedly inflammatory, boggy lesions on the scalp for 5 months. Other cases showed several 2~4cm sized, erythematous, follicular pustules and nodules with partial alopecia on the scalp for 2 months. Histopathology and results of mycologic study were consistent with kerion celsi due to Trichophyton tonsurans. All lesions were successfully treated with griseofulvin 500mg daily for 7~15weeks and short term therapy of low dose of prednisolone and cephadroxil.
