Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Tinea capitis is a fungal infection of the scalp in which trichoscopy plays an important role by allowing early identification of characteristic hair shaft alterations before mycological confirmation.
METHODS: We describe two adult women who are immunosuppressed with endothrix tinea capitis caused by Trichophyton violaceum.
RESULTS: Both patients presented with diffuse scalp alopecia and scaling. Trichoscopic examination revealed unusually elongated corkscrew hairs, and fungal cultures confirmed the diagnosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Elongated corkscrew hairs represent a previously unreported trichoscopic pattern in chronic endothrix tinea capitis. Awareness of this finding may facilitate earlier diagnostic suspicion and prompt targeted mycological investigation in patients who are immunosuppressed.
