Epidemiology, clinical features, and outcome of the hospitalized patients with Kerion in Fars Province, Iran: an eleven-year retrospective study
We report one of the largest studies on Kerion patients over an eleven-year period. We have expanded the information on Kerion patients' epidemiology, transmission mode, and clinical outcomes. To develop preventative strategies for Kerion, future studies should focus on additional risk factors and individual susceptibilities.
