    Figure 1: Tinea capitis clinical forms: alopecic microsporosis (A1 and A2); alopecic
    trichophytosis (B1 and B2); and kerion Celsi (C1 and C2) — arrow indicating reactional
    lymph node enlargement, typical of this presentation. Fungal culture of the main isolated
    agents: Microsporum canis macroculture showing white, cottony colonies with a bright-
    yellow reverse (D1) and microculture with hyaline septate hyphae and spindle-shaped
    macroconidia with more than 6 septa inside them (D2); Trichophyton tonsurans macroculture
    with powdery, brownish and cerebriform colonies (E1) and microculture with hyaline septate
    hyphae and interspersed microconidia (E2) (Veasey and Muzy, 2018).
