Resumen
ROLDAN, OA Guerrrero et al. Kerion Celsi, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects: a case report. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2021, vol.102, n.3, pp.31-40. ISSN 1851-300X.
Tinea capitis is a disease that most frequently affects the pediatric population caused by dermatophyte fungi, of which kerion is the severe inflammatory form of it. Its early diagnosis and intervention avoids possible aesthetic and psychological consequences in those who suffer from it. The case of a 4-year-old male patient is presented, who attend the dermatology service for 4 months of erythematous-desquamative plaque with pustules that evolved to a single plaque of predominantly alopecia and cervical lymphadenopathy. Microbiological report confirmed its diagnosis, and ultrasound contributed to the prognosis and therapeutic behavior.
