We aimed to investigate the current epidemiological, clinical and mycological characteristics of TC and to compare adult and paediatric patients in northern Taiwan. We conducted a retrospective study at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Branch, from 2014 to 2019. The dataset included age, sex, records of underlying diseases, animal contact history, frequent hair salon visits, clinical patterns, treatment and outcome via chart or phone call reviews. The average ages of 72 children and 104 adults recruited were 6.0 and 74.0\u00a0years, respectively. A female predominance was noted in both groups, and the ratio of females was significantly higher in adults (94.2% vs 59.7%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.0001). <jats:italic>Microsporum canis<\/jats:italic> (76.4%) and <jats:italic>Trichophyton mentagrophytes<\/jats:italic> (11.1%) in children, and <jats:italic>M.\u00a0canis<\/jats:italic> (49.0%) and <jats:italic>T.\u00a0violaceum<\/jats:italic> (31.7%) in adults were the most common pathogens.

Furthermore, adults visited hair salons more, had less animal contact and were more immunosuppressed than children. TC is not unusual in the adult population. Dermatologists are advised to realise risk factors such as immunosuppression and regular hair salon visit in adult TC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/myc.13234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,24]],"date-time":"2020-12-24T16:53:31Z","timestamp":1608828811000},"page":"484-494","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Clinical
