ESTROGEN THERAPY OF TINEA CAPITIS: PRELIMINARY REPORTArchives of Dermatology, 45
Abstract THE INCREASE in the incidence of tinea capitis of the anthropophilic type, which has often assumed epidemic proportions during the past several years, has clearly demonstrated the need for a simplified form of effective treatment. Many therapeutic approaches have been abandoned as unsatisfactory, and others have met with varying degrees of success. For example, the use of trichophytin injections produced equivocal results and was discarded.1 Similarly, the topical administration of hormones proved of only dubious value.2 The proper application of trimethyl cetyl ammonium pentachlorphenate (T. C. A. P.)3 required diligent care for several hours daily, and the use of this product was therefore relinquished as impracticable. While fatty-acid compounds have merits in the treatment of mycoses of the glabrous skin, they are ineffectual against tinea capitis. Salicylanilide ointment is attended by better results, but it still leaves much to be desired. Against this background, we welcomed the References 1. Lewis, G. M., and Hopper, M.

They were furnished first under the code number Ro2-2453 and later under the name of asterol® dihydrochloride. Originally, an ointment and tincture containing 2% of the active agent were employed. As the study progressed this was increased to 5%. 6. Grunberg, E.; Soo-Hoo, G.; Titsworth, E.; Ressetar, D., and Schnitzer, R.
