A broad range of dermatophytes can cause severe tinea capitis, especially in children. These can be mistaken for bacterial infections. Based on a case example, Prof. Dr. med. Hans-Jürgen Tietz explains how the EUROArray Dermatomycosis enables fast and clear identification of pathogens (even of those which are difficult to detect) and thus allows prompt initiation of a suitable treatment.
