Tinea capitis - endo-ectothrix hair invasion

We can see the hair whith a burst out texture. The shaft of the hair is filled with spores.The refracting spores are surrounding the hair. A sleeve of several layers of spores is attached to the hair. The type of hair parasitism is ecto-endothrix due to a Microsporum. The examination of the scalp, when exposed to Wood’s light shows green fluorescence of the hair.
