73 cases of tinea capitis were observed in the "Hôpital des Enfants" in Bordeaux during these last five year. 71 children under 14 years of age and only 2 adults have seen. The dermatophytic spectrum transformation noticed in other parts of Western Europe is also encountered in Bordeaux. 83 p. 100 are affected by zoo-antropophilic dermatophytes, M. canis chiefly in town, T. mentagrophytes, T. verrucosum in rural aeras. The cases are often familial, from an infected animal, but without any interhuman transmission. Only 8 out of 73 cases are due to strict antropophilic dermatophytes and are found in newly arrived immigrants from North Africa (T. violaceum, T. schönleini) of from West Africa (M. langeroni, T. ferrugineum, T. soudanense). Not a single case of scholar transmission could be observed. Cure by micronised griseofulvine per os (15 mg/kg/day) associated with local care was effective in all cases.
