MONTIEL CENTURION, Judith Nelsi et al. Kerion Celsi: about a case. Rev. Nac. (Itauguá) [online]. 2024, vol.16, n.2, pp.155-162. ISSN 2072-8174.  https://doi.org/10.18004/rdn2024.may.02.155.162.

We report the case of Queiron de Celso of the scalp in a 6-year-old girl from an urban area with a pathologic history of tinea capitis. Tinea capitis or dermatophytosis is a fungal infection caused by fungi called “dermatophytes”.

Kerion is a severe manifestation of tinea capitis resulting from an intense immune response to infection and characterized by the development of an inflammatory plaque with pustules, thick crusts and/or drainage.

Keywords : Kerion of Celsus; tinea capitis; dermatomycosis.
