Search FamilyFun Tools Parent Problem Solver Field Guide to Parenting Pregnancy Calendar ... Solutions A to Z Ringworm A variety of fungal infections of the skin, scalp and nails fall under the general category of ringworm. (The name ringworm, which dates from the 15th century, is a misnomer; no worm is involved and the rash is not always circular.) The fungi that cause ringworm can be found almost everywhere. As a result, ringworm infections are particularly common among children in day care and in the early school years. Once ringworm sets in, it nourishes itself by absorbing the dead, protein-rich material called keratin that comprises the outer layer of skin. Although it is not dangerous, ringworm can make a child very uncomfortable by causing itchiness and sometimes painful fissures in the skin. Ringworm of the scalp is also often quite unsightly since it causes the loss of hair in patches. WHAT CAUSES RINGWORM? The infectious organisms that cause ringworm fungi are known as dermatophytes. The types that most commonly affect children are: Tinea corporis (the classic ringworm of body skin). This infection is marked by circular, scaly lesions with clear skin in the center. The lesions are most common on the arms or the trunk of the body, and they grow as the fungus depletes the nutrient supply on the skin surface within the circle. Tinea corporis occurs most frequently in young boys.

Descriptions ... Links ONTARIO: paws2dine.com BRITISH COLUMBIA: siriuspetfood.com RINGWORM AND LUFENURON By: Carol W. Johnson, DVM PhD Microsporum canis, the most common cause of ringworm, is a parasitic fungus that is highly adapted to cats. Once introduced into a cattery, ringworm can rapidly spread and can infect most or all of the cats in a cattery before the breeder is aware that there even is a problem. In an infected cattery, the lesions often appear to resolve in adult cats after several months and kittens often will no longer show lesions as they approach maturity. In most cases, however, these cats still harbor low levels of fungus and serve to infect the kittens that are born into a cattery. Some of the biggest impediments to all catteries becoming ringworm-free has been the expense of treatment and the limited safety of the less expensive drugs. Griseofulvin (Fulvicin) is inexpensive and moderately effective against ringworm, but causes severe neutropenia and immunosuppression that can be fatal in up to 10% of the treated cats. Itraconazole (Sporonox) is much more effective and safer, but can cost up to $200 to treat a cat. Those of us who claim a ringworm-free cattery have often had to spend thousands of dollars to maintain that status and treatment of a large cattery is often beyond the economic ability of some breeders.

We subscribe to the HONcode principles. Verify here Ringworm Ringworm is a contagious infection that usually affects the scalp, the feet (athlete's foot), the groin, or the nails, but it can affect any part of the body.  It comes from a fungus transmitted by humans and animals, not from worms!  People get ringworm from direct skin-to-skin contact with another infected person or a pet or by indirect contact with an object or surface that an infected person or pet has touched.   Ringworm is generally easily treated with over-the-counter or prescription anti-fungal medicines.  To prevent the spread of ringworm, make sure all infected persons and pets get appropriate treatment, avoid contact with infected persons and pets, do not share personal items (especially towels or bedding, clothing, hairbrushes, stuffed animals, etc.), clean all clothing or objects that have come into contact with the fungus, and keep common-use areas clean.   Ringworm of the scalp usually begins as a small pimple that becomes larger, leaving scaly patches of temporary baldness. Infected hairs become brittle and break off easily. Yellowish crusty areas sometimes develop.  Ringworm of the body looks like a flat, round patch anywhere on the skin except for the scalp and feet. The groin is a common area of infection. As the rash gradually expands, its center clears to produce a ring. More than one patch might appear, and the patches can overlap. The area is sometimes itchy.

Don't panic. Doctors say that up to 15 percent of American children under age 10 will have the scalp infection. "The infections are a common problem in childhood but, luckily, are relatively easy to treat," says Dr Robin Carder, assistant professor of dermatology at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. The infection is caused by a fungus, despite what its name might indicate. The most common fungus strain causing scalp ringworm in the United States is spread from person-to-person contact, Dr Carder says. A much less common scalp-ringworm strain can be contracted from pets, usually cats. "Symptoms of scalp ringworm include itchy, scaling, pimple-like bumps and temporary, patchy hair loss," says Dr Carder. "If intense scalp inflammation lingers a long time, scarring and permanent hair loss can occur, but this is uncommon. Some children also develop enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, also temporary. Some people have no symptoms at all." Treatments consist of oral anti-fungal medicines prescribed by a doctor. Anti-fungal shampoos such as selenium sulfide and ketoconazole can help prevent spread of the fungus. To help prevent infection, don't share hairbrushes, combs and hats, Dr Carder says.

Our Story We brought Lilith and Tallulah home from the Pet Shop at 7 weeks old, and we left them pretty much alone for the first few days, to get used to their new surroundings. So it was about a week later that I was holding Tallulah and I noticed she had a scabby lump on her head between her ears. There was no hair loss that I could see. I took her immediately to the vet, and he checked for mites, but ruled that out. We wondered whether she had been bitten by Lilith while they were settling down together. So I went home with an antiseptic wash. Two days later some more crusting appeared on Tallulah's cheek. She went straight back to the vet, who still wasn't sure what it was. [With hindsight I think maybe he should have recognised it]. Lilith had no symptoms at this stage. The vet decided to do a biopsy on the lumps on Tallulah to help the diagnosis. To do this he had to give her a little anaesthetic gas. You can imagine the distress this caused us, as she was only 8 weeks old, and the trauma could have killed her. Fortunately she survived, but had to have half her head shaved and 4 stitches in her head and cheek. The lump was immediately cultured and within a couple of days the culture turned purple and emphatically revealed that Tallulah had ringworm. The day after this diagnosis Lilith began losing hair around her right eye....
