[Microsporous infection of the scalp in an adult (author's transl)].
Infection of the scalp in an elderly woman due to Microsporum canis (zoophilic, long-lived fungus) after repeated direct contact with infected cats. We think that the infection could occur because of an age-induced decrease in some of the organic functions which govern the healing process of microsporous infections during puberty.
