Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Dermatophyte infections are rare in young children, except for scalp infections. Our findings indicate that non-scalp fungal infections may be more common than previously thought in this age group.

Background:

Dermatophyte infections are typically considered uncommon in infants and toddlers, excluding tinea capitis.
Clinical presentation and prevalence in this demographic are not well-established.

Purpose of the Study:

To illustrate the clinical spectrum of dermatophyte infections in infants and toddlers.
To review diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for these infections in young children.

Main Methods:

Case series describing representative patients.
Review of pathophysiologic mechanisms, diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic regimens.

Main Results:

Dermatophyte infections, beyond tinea capitis, may occur more frequently in infants and toddlers than previously estimated.

Related Experiment Videos

A broad clinical spectrum of these infections was observed in the described patients.

Conclusions:

Recognition of dermatophyte infections in infants and toddlers is crucial due to a wide differential diagnosis.
Effective treatment options are available for these fungal infections in young children.
