| Summary: | This paper reports a case of Tinea imbricata in a young
Orang Asli boy which was noted during his admission for
severe symptomatic anemia. Upon discharge, he was
started on syrup Griseofulvin 10mg/kg daily and Whitfield
cream for 4 weeks. The Department of Orang Asli
Development (JAKOA) and the local Health Clinic were
contacted before discharge to facilitate patient’s follow-up
and monitoring. Outbreaks of Tinea imbricata among the
Orang Asli have been known to happen from time to time.
Although this dermatophyte infection is rare in the urban
population, transmission among travelers has been
reported. This case report highlights its unique presentation
and treatment approach. |
