Abstract

Tinea favosa is an inflammatory infection of the skin, most often found on the scalp, caused by Trichophyton schoenleinii It is rarely reported and is more commonly found on immunocompromised patient, poor hygiene and nutrition, dense population, poverty, with limited access to healthcare. Transmission can occur directly from family members or close friends or indirectly through strands of infected hair or desquamation of affected epithelial. In this article, we reported a case of tinea favosa on a 7-year-old boy with itchy thick scale and mousy odor that occurred 2 months prior to medication. The patient responded well to oral antifungal (Griseofulvin) and antibiotic (amoxicillin) as well as topical treatment (fusidic acid cream, miconazole cream, and ketoconazole shampoo) after 6 weeks of treatment showing no dermatophyte growth on scalp scraping culture. Education of proper hygiene as well as reducing humidity on scalp area and improving the nutrition status are the main strategies to prevent the recurrence of this disease.

Abstract

Herpes zoster (HZ) is an acute skin infection caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), characterized by unilateral radicular pain and clustered vesicles following a dermatomal pattern. Although more commonly seen in older adults and immunocompromised individuals, HZ can also occur in immunocompetent children who have received complete varicella immunization, although this is rare. This report aims to describe a case of HZ in an immunocompetent child without a prior history of varicella infection and to raise clinical awareness of the possibility of HZ in low-risk pediatric populations. The method used is a case report with a descriptive clinical approach, including symptom evaluation, physical examination, and treatment with antiviral and supportive therapies. The findings indicate that HZ can be clinically diagnosed even in children considered low-risk. In conclusion, HZ should remain a differential diagnosis in children presenting with characteristic vesicular lesions, to ensure prompt recognition and appropriate management.
