Single-center retrospective analysis of 454 culture-positive patients with tinea capitis and measurement of pathogens regarding thermal tolerance at 37°C
<i>Microsporum canis</i> is the dominant pathogen of TC. Elderly women (postmenopausal women) were the main affected group of adult TC, and the proportion of anthropophilic dermatophytes in the adult group was significantly higher than that in the children group. Most dermatophytes were well tolerated at 37°C, particularly <i>N. gypsea</i>.
