Specimens were examined by fluorescent microscopy using 20% potassium hydroxide and Calcofluor white stain (Remel, San Diego, CA, USA). Whenever ectothrix and endothrix phenomena were observed, it was used to help fungal identification. Clinical specimens were cultured on two different Sabouraud Dextrose Agar, one with chloramphenicol and cycloheximide and another one with chloramphenicol and gentamicin (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), both incubated at 30 °C for at least four weeks.

In contrast, <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Microsporum audouinii</span> and <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Trichophyton soudanense</span> were the most common in our series. This pattern of infection appears to be linked to immigration from Africa: <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Trichophyton violaceum</span> is the major agent of tinea capitis in the North and East of Africa and <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Trichophyton soudanense</span> and <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Microsporum audouinii</span> predominate in the Western and Central regions of the African continent<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13–15</span></a>.

We believe the infection in these native children probably occurred at their schools since there were similar cases in the area, in children of similar age and these patients had not taken any trips nor did they have any affected relatives. The situation was notified but there was not any follow-up in the schools.</p><p id="par0110" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Non-scarring alopecia and scaly patches were the predominant clinical presentation in our cases.

In our study, two cases were developed in siblings and one patient had tinea faciei and tinea capitis at the same time.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A 2016 Cochrane review of systemic antifungal therapy for tinea capitis in children reveals that although griseofulvin or terbinafine are both effective, complete healing is superior with griseofulvin (6-12 weeks) in those cases due to <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Microsporum</span> species and with terbinafine (6 weeks) in those caused by <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Trichophyton</span> species without differences in adherence and with reasonable safety profile<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a>.

In three patients with tinea capitis due to <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Microsporum audouinii,</span> no improvement was obtained after eight weeks of terbinafine treatment, so it was changed to griseofulvin. This resistance to terbinafine of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Microsporum audouinii</span> infections is frequently encountered and underestimated<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a>. Topical antifungals are useful as an adjuvant treatment to eradicate viable spores in the scalp and to reduce the risk of transmission at the start of systemic treatment; ketoconazole or ciclopirox olamine can be used<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a>.</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To conclude, tinea capitis is more common in male children between three and seven years. Although zoophilic dermatophytes remain the predominant cause of tinea capitis in Spain, anthropophilic dermatophytes are becoming even more important in our community. <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Trichophyton soudanense</span> and <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Microsporum audouinii</span> were the most common in our series.
