Microsphere Images

Tinea capitis superficialis caused by Microsporum canis: existing for several months, only moderately itching.

Microspore (Tina capitis caused by Microsporun canis) : Scaling and breaking off hair in the parting area in a 6-year-old girl. no itching. fungal culture: masses of Microsporum canis.

Microspore. reflected light microscopy: Capillitium image: Area with dystrophically altered, kinked hair shafts, hair shaft narrowing towards distal and shortly above the follicle ostia (cadaver hairs).

microspores. acute, since 3 weeks existing, constantly multiplying, slightly itchy, rough spots and papules. additionally circular foci with broken off hair stumps on the capillitium. green fluorescence in wood light

Microsphere. 2 weeks of persistent, size progressive, itchy plaques measuring 2.5 x 2.5 cm as well as 1.5 x 1 cm with distinct scaling, edge accentuation and central pallor in an 11-year-old boy. The skin lesions developed from 2 small papules which appeared for the first time about 2 weeks before.

Microsphere: Detailed view with a typical anular Collerette-like marginal scaling.

Microspore. detailed picture with anular plaque, marginal scaling ruffle with central pallor (trunk).

Microspore: multicenter, acute, since 4 weeks existing, increasing, initially 0.2-0.3 cm large, later due to size increase and confluence up to 10 cm large, blurred, strongly itchy, red, rough plaques (scaling, crusts); highly contagious special form of Tinea corporis due to microsporum species.

Microspore: Culture of Microsporum canis.

Microspores: dog suffering from microspores under wood light, infested areas with green-yellow fluorescence
