头癣是儿童最常见的真菌性疾病之一。它一直是许多国家的主要公共卫生问题，在低社会经济群体中尤其普遍（1）。在美国，头癣是相对罕见的，直到第二次世界大战期间全国各地发生了一场大流行病（2）。用X线脱毛治疗头癣是由Sabouraud于1904年提出的，并由Kienbock于1907年（3）和Adamson于1910年（4）标准化。脱毛的目的是允许有效的真菌净化头皮。在引入Adamson-Kienbock X射线手术之前，脱毛是手动完成的。暴露头皮在大约两到三周内产生完全脱毛，持续一到两个月（5）。X线脱毛被证明是上级的替代形式的局部治疗，并被广泛使用，直到灰黄霉素在1958年推出。在X光脱毛术使用的半个世纪里，没有准确的数字可以说明接受X光脱毛治疗的儿童总数。在全世界范围内，可能有多达20万儿童接受了这种形式的照射（1）。
Tinea capitis is one of the most common fungal diseases of children. It has been a major public health problem in many countries and is especially prevalent in low socioeconomic groups (1). In the United States, tinea capitis was relatively uncommon until a major epidemic occurred throughout the country during World War II (2). Treatment for ringworm of the scalp by X-ray epilation was introduced by Sabouraud in 1904 and standardized by Kienbock in 1907 (3) and Adamson in 1910 (4). The purpose of the epilation was to permit effective fungal decontamination of the scalp. Before the Adamson-Kienbock X-ray procedure was introduced, epilation was done manually. Exposure of the scalp produced complete epilation in approximately two to three weeks which lasted one to two months (5). X-ray epilation proved to be much superior to the alternative forms of topical therapy and was widely used until the introduction of griseofulvin in 1958. No accurate figures exist for the total number of children treated by X-ray epilation during the one-half century of its use. On a worldwide basis, it is possible that as many as 200,000 children have received this form of irradiation (1).
