January 2022 in “Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas” This retrospective observational study in Northwestern Spain included 24 children diagnosed with tinea capitis due to anthropophilic species from 2004 to 2019. The majority (75%) were males with an average age of 4.88 years. Most cases (83.3%) were from Africa, with others from South America (4.2%) and Spain (12.5%). Clinically, 70.8% presented with scaly patches and non-scarring alopecia. The main dermatophyte identified was Trichophyton soudanense (45.8%), followed by Microsporum audouinii (20.8%), Trichophyton tonsurans (12.5%), and Trichophyton violaceum (12.5%). The study suggested that the increase in anthropophilic infections might be linked to African immigration and could lead to a rise in tinea capitis incidence, posing a potential public health issue.
