摘要To the Editor:Tinea capitis (TC) is a common superficial fungal infection of the scalp,and the pathogens vary with geography and socioeconomic status.[1] We described a case of TC caused by Trichophyton tonsurans and subsequently accompanied by herpes zoster.A 53-year-old Chinese female who presented with a 3-month history of scalp erythema,scaling,and pruritus visited our department.Physical examination revealed erythema,escharosis,and multiple interspersed alopecia patches across the scalp [Fig.1A].The dermatoscopy showed scales and corkscrew hairs broken at a distance of 0.5 to 2.0 mm from the scalp with a black spot appearance [Fig.1B].
