Tinea capitis is a common fungal infection of the hair of the scalp affecting predominately prepubertal children. In the US, griseofulvin has been considered a first-line therapy agent for tinea capitis since the 1960s. However, it has been falling out of favor due to significant treatment failure, high cost, and long duration of treatment. Other antifungal agents have been researched as an alternative to griseofulvin. This paper will review the relevant pharmacologic properties, dosing, cost, efficacy, and adverse events profile for griseofulvin, terbinafine, itraconazole, fluconazole, and some adjuvant therapy options such as selenium sulfide shampoos and topical ketoconazole.

ated with a desire to scratch [1] . Just like skin pruritus, its etiology may be of dermatological or non-dermatological origin. It is common for the dermatologist to encounter patients with no evident cause of scalp pruritus, making it a distressing situation for both the clinician and the patient. The aim of this paper is to review the clinical signs of the most common causes of scalp itch and other less common causes that must be considered in a systematic approach to scalp pruritus. Materials and MethodsWe performed a MEDLINE search through PubMed (1975PubMed ( -2017, using the terms scalp itch and scalp pruritus and included clinical trials, review articles, case series, and case reports to search for the causes of scalp itch. PathophysiologyAlthough various pathogenic etiologies contribute to scalp pruritus, the scalp itself has distinct neuroanatomy and vasculature, specific neuromediators and corresponding receptors, as well as the presence of scalp sebum and microflora, which are all properties that may explain its tendency to be implicated in patients who complain of itch. Keywords Scalp · Itch · Pruritus · Seborrheic dermatitis · Contact dermatitis · Anxiety · Lichen planopilaris · Lice · Pediculosis · Psoriasis · Trichoscopy AbstractScalp itch is a frequent complaint in the dermatological setting. It is common for the dermatologist to encounter patients with no evident cause of scalp pruritus, making it a distressing situation for both the clinician and the patient. The aim of this paper is to propose a systematic approach to scalp itch, which classifies scalp pruritus into two types: (1) with or (2) without dermatological lesions, and presence or absence of hair loss. Also, it is important to think first about the most common causes and then rule out other, less common etiologies. The acronym SCALLP and the five steps for scalp evaluation (listen, look, touch, magnify, and sample) are useful tools to keep in mind for an assertive approach in these patients.

Trichophyton schoenleinii is an anthropophilic dermatophyte mainly causing tinea favosa of the scalp in certain regions of the world, especially Africa and Asia. We investigated the in vitro susceptibilities of 55 T. schoenleinii isolates collected over the last 30 years from Iran, Turkey, and China to 12 antifungals using the CLSI broth microdilution method. Our results revealed that terbinafine and ketoconazole were the most potent antifungal agents among those tested, independently of the geographic regions where strains were isolated.
