| Abstract (English): |
BACKGROUND: Tinea capitis is an infection or parasitism of the hair, scalp and appendages, caused by species of the genera Trichophyton and Microsporum. The most frequent etiological agents include Microsporum canis (80%) and Trichophyton tonsurans (15%). Inflammatory ringworm is characterized by the development of a plaque consisting of multiple pustules, abscesses, ulcers and meliceric crusts. It can affect any part of the body, but predominates on the skin. CLINICAL CASE: A 6-year-old male patient, evaluated for a dermatosis compatible with Celso's kerion, which was confirmed by direct examination of the lesions, as well as their development in the culture, allowing us to classify it as a Celso's kerion by T. mentagrophytes. CONCLUSIONS: Due to the inflammatory nature of Celso's kerion, it is important to recognize and take into account the patient's history and the characteristics of the dermatosis, in order to establish a clinical-mycological relationship that guides us to consider this disease as a diagnostic possibility and to establish effective and timely treatment.

ANTECEDENTES: La tiña de la cabeza es una infección o parasitación del pelo, piel cabelluda y anexos, causada por diversas especies de los géneros Trichophyton y Microsporum. Los agentes etiológicos más frecuentes incluyen a Microsporum canis (80%) y Trichophyton tonsurans (15%). La tiña inflamatoria se caracteriza por la formación de una placa constituida por múltiples pústulas, abscesos, úlceras y costras melicéricas; puede afectar cualquier parte del cuerpo, pero predomina en la piel. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente masculino de 6 años, valorado por una dermatosis compatible con querión de Celso, que se confirmó mediante la realización de examen directo de las lesiones, así como su desarrollo en el cultivo, permitiéndonos clasificarlo como querión de Celso por T. mentagrophytes. CONCLUSIONES: Por el carácter inflamatorio del querión de Celso, es importante reconocer y tomar en cuenta los antecedentes del paciente y las características de la dermatosis, para de esta forma establecer una relación clínica-micológica que nos guíe a pensar en este padecimiento como posibilidad diagnóstica y establecer el tratamiento efectivo y oportuno.
