来自亚历山大一所小学的510名儿童接受了头皮炎检查，并从他们的头皮上采集了样本。通过直接显微镜检查标本并进行培养。诊断是由临床和真菌学的结果。在54.1%的儿童中发现了头虱病的临床证据，在女孩中更常见。从7.4%的头皮样本中分离出皮肤真菌（2.9%确诊病例，4.5%携带者）。另有2%为疑似病例，因为真菌学检查呈阴性。大多数儿童都在10岁以下，没有人知道自己感染了这种病毒。所有分离株均鉴定为紫色毛癣菌。
A total of 510 children from a primary school in Alexandria were examined for tinea capitis, and samples were taken from their scalps. Specimens were examined by direct microscopy and were cultured. Diagnosis was by clinical and mycological findings. Clinical evidence of pediculosis capitis was found in 54.1% of children, more commonly in girls. Dermatophytes were isolated from 7.4% of scalp samples (2.9% confirmed cases, 4.5% carriers). A further 2% were suspected cases as they were negative by mycology. Most of the children were under 10 years and none was aware of having the infection. All isolates were identified as Trichophyton violaceum.
