Résumé : The diagnosis of tinea capitis (TC) is based on clinical examination and laboratory tests. The former includes taking the patient’s history (disease course, other affected individuals among the patient’s social contacts, exposure to animals, trips abroad) and inspection (type of involvement, other clinical manifestations of dermatophytosis such as tinea corporis or onychomycosis) [1] (Table 16.1).
