Microsporia is a widespread contagious fungal infection that impacts human skin, hair and its appendages, in addition to animal hair and skin. While it was once predominantly found in children under 14 years old around 20-30 years ago, recent studies have indicated that it is being increasingly detected within families, affecting adults of all ages, including the elderly. There have also been numerous publications on the occurrence of the disease in adults with smooth, vellus, and long hair, with an increased incidence of infiltrative suppurative microsporia on the scalp.
