ABSTRACT
Kerion celsi is an inflammatory dermatophytosis of the scalp which is characterized by an acute suppurative process caused mainly by zoophilic dermatophytes. Systemic corticosteroid can be added to systemic antifungal treatment for reducing scarring alopecia, but focal cicatricial changes are unavoidable in a severe case. We report a case of kerion celsi caused by T. mentagrophytes, zoophilic dermatophyte, in a 7-year-old girl. This patient had localized painful erythematous crusted plaques with multiple inflammatory pustules on the scalp. Although she was initially treated with antifungal agent and systemic corticosteroid, focal scarring alopecia occurred eventually. Eventually, the cicatricial change was corrected surgically after two and a half years in spite of timely and appropriate treatment.
