Tinea capitis en mujeres de edad avanzada: descripción de 4 casos

Abstract

Resumen La tinea capitis se ha considerado clasicamente como un proceso casi exclusivo de la infancia. Sin embargo, en las ultimas decadas se han observado algunos cambios en su perfil epidemiologico, tanto en lo que concierne a las edades de presentacion como a los agentes responsables. Se describen los casos de 4 mujeres mayores de 65 anos diagnosticadas de tinea capitis. Una de ellas presentaba placas alopecicas con descamacion, mientras que en las otras tres las lesiones eran inflamatorias y costrosas. Los cultivos fueron positivos para Trichophyton tonsurans (2 pacientes), Trichophyton rubrum y Trichophyton mentagrophytes. La relativa infrecuencia de la tinea capitis en la edad avanzada y, por otra parte, su frecuente atipicidad clinica condicionan un diagnostico tardio, circunstancia que puede condicionar secuelas irreversibles e incrementa la posibilidad de contagios. El cultivo fungico deberia incorporarse en el estudio de las dermatosis del cuero cabelludo de curso atipico y persistente, especialmente en individuos de edad avanzada.
