Abstract :
[en] Few diseases exhibit such regional variability in their epidemiology, even in an area as limited as Belgium, as tinea capitis. Thus, anthropophilic tinea capitis is highly predominant in areas where new immigrants from Black Africa and North Africa have settled. By contrast, zoophilic tinea capitis is found largely in areas where the cat population is infected. Kerion often affects professions in which contact with infected livestock is involved. Prevention of tinea capitis thus has distinct regional features. Treatment, on the other hand, has a universal basis.
