Abstract In recent years an increase in the incidence of tinea capitis due to Trichophyton tonsurans has been reported from several parts of the United States. Apparently endemic in Mexico, where it causes almost 90% of all cases of tinea capitis,1 the fungus has a high incidence in Texas2 and is gradually spreading to the Pacific Southwest,3 the Eastern Seaboard,4 and the Middle West.5 The first case of tinea capitis due to T. tonsurans in Maryland was recently described by Sullivan and Wood.6 As regards New York City, Reiss7 reported 44 cases of T. tonsurans infection of the scalp, glabrous skin, or both, seen at Bellevue Hospital during the six-year period July 1947-July 1953. In view of these reports, it seemed worth while to examine our records for the last 20 years, in order to obtain exact figures concerning the incidence References 1.
