Abstract
Therapy for kerions was evaluated by randomly assigning 30 patients to one of four treatment groups: group A griseofulvin, group B griseoful vin plus erythromycin, group C griseofulvin plus prednisone, and group D griseofulvin, erythromycin, and prednisone. Data indicate that anti biotic and steroid therapy, in addition to griseofulvin, may reduce sc aling and pruritus, but does not reduce the time it takes for kerions to flatten.
