UNASSIGNED: @entity68921 or @entity3100 favosa, is a chronic @entity11885 . The disease is particularly common in @entity1 aged 6 to 10 years, more often in @entity1 , and it also occurs in adults. @entity1 -to- @entity1 transmission is therefore possible. Anthropophilic @entity12735 sch  enleinii is responsible for over 95% of @entity68921 cases. In addition, there are rare cases of anthropophilic T.violaceum, zoophilic ( @entity12735 , T.quinckeanum, and @entity14476 ) and geophilic @entity14955 species recorded as agents of @entity68921 . It is also reported in @entity19 (T.quinckeanum), poultry (M.gallinae), and @entity468 (M.incurvatum). @entity68921 is common in Iran, Nigeria, and China, however it has been reported rarely in the last two decades in @entity233 . Although Turkish records are not sufficient to indicate an accurate incidence rate, @entity68921 is still present in @entity233 . In this report, a 20-year-old female with @entity68921 was presented. She had squames and areas of @entity1665 on the right frontoparietal area of her scalp. Scalp biopsy and hair follicle samples were taken for histopathological examination and fungal culture. According to the conventional identification by mycological methods and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing analysis, the pathogen was identified as T.sch  enleinii. The @entity1 was treated with oral @entity8974 (250 mg/day) for 4 weeks and topical @entity35563 and @entity3102 for 6 weeks. Clinical recovery was observed after 6 weeks, however, fungal culture could not be repeated. Six months after the initial presentation, the @entity1 's symptoms recurred due to the poor adherence and T.sch  enleinii was repeatedly grown in culture. Antifungal treatment was administered with the same drugs for the same period. There was a clinical and mycological recovery 8 months after initial presentation. @entity68921 , which is not frequently observed in adults, is an uncommon disease. @entity911 arises in its diagnosis because other diseases have similar clinical appearances, and asymptomatic carriage have also been reported. For these reasons, and because of improvements in health conditions, treatment might be delayed. With accurate assessment of the @entity1 's medical history, the clinical characteristics of the disease, and results of laboratory analyses, coupled with effective mycologist-clinician collaboration, it is possible for the @entity1 to continue a healthy social life. Consequently, @entity68921 is still an important health problem encountered in @entity233 .
