| Popis: | Quanlitative and semiquantitative bacterial culture specimens were obtained from 44 patients with kerions. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from the scalp surface overlying the kerion in 29% of patients and from the pus within the kerion in 48% of patients. Gram-negative bacteria were found in the same locations in 11.3% and 18% of patients, respectively. The data indicate that bacteria are frequently cultured from kerions. |
