• Tinea capitis remains a common childhood infection in many parts of the world. Yet knowledge of the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms and the development of effective immunity have shown striking advances. Moreover, new methods of diagnosis ranging from dermoscopy to molecular laboratory tests have been developed even though they have not been assimilated into routine practice in many centers. Treatment of tinea capitis is effective although it needs to be given for at least one month. What is missing, however, is a systematic approach to control through case ascertainment and therapy.
