Microspora is caused by the antropophile fungi parasitizing only in a human being, or zoophile, parasitizing both in people, and in animals (most frequently in cats and dogs) Those and other microspora form around hair cover out of tiny spores which unlike the germ of lnfiltrative-inflammatory trichophytosis located not in a row, but chaotically (mosaicly). Children mainly have it; in the period of pubescence the disease usually is spontaneously resolved. Microsporia is, as a rule, superficial one. The infiltrative-purulent form and affection of nails is observed extremely rarely.
Microspora of the smooth skin is practically similar to ringworm of the body.
Microspora of the scalp manifests dually, hi those cases, when a germ is the zoophile fungus, there is 1-2 large rounded or oval, distinctly outlined lesion focuses, within them all hair are broken at the same height (5-8 mm.) and look, therefore as though they were cut. The broken hair hav? a white color due to coupling of spores, are easily pulled out. At that the skin is thickly covered by flour-like scales. Microsporia, caused the antropophile fungus, resembles ringworm of the scalp a lot, the only difference is that the hair are broken (not all!) higher and have a white color. Greenish luminescence of the affected hair by microsporam in Wood’s rays is of great differential-diagnostic meaning. It is necessary to use widely this luminescent method for inspection of children having a contact with a patient with microsporia and also cats and dogs suspected to be infected. The inspection is done in the black-out room.
Medical treatment. They use solutions, creams and ointments of batrafen, daktarin, microspor, nizoral, pevaril, travogen, ton okort, exoderil. At involving of hair - nizoral, orungal in pills.
