Las dermatofitosis son infecciones f\u00fangicas superficiales de epitelios queratinizados. La tinea capitis es una de ellas y afecta a poblaciones escolares vulnerables. Carpinelo es un barrio del \u00e1rea perif\u00e9rica de Medell\u00edn con precarias condiciones socioecon\u00f3micas. Ante la sospecha de un brote de dermatofitosis, losafectados fueron evaluados.Objetivo. Evaluar cl\u00ednica y microbiol\u00f3gicamente pacientes del barrio Carpinelo con sospecha de micosis cut\u00e1neas para determinar la presencia de un brote por dermatofitos.Materiales y m\u00e9todos. Se llev\u00f3 a cabo un estudio descriptivo, de corte longitudinal, con muestreo a conveniencia. Se hizo una b\u00fasqueda activa de casos en el Jard\u00edn Educativo Buen Comienzo de Carpinelo en ni\u00f1os de la instituci\u00f3n y sus familiares. Se evaluaron cl\u00ednicamente y se tomaron muestras de escamas y cabellos para ex\u00e1menes directos y cultivos microbiol\u00f3gicos. Se analiz\u00f3 el perfil demogr\u00e1fico, cl\u00ednico y micol\u00f3gico, con el programa estad\u00edstico SPSS\u2122, versi\u00f3n 25.Resultados. Se estudiaron 57 pacientes, 47 eran menores de edad con una media de edad de seis a\u00f1os; se observ\u00f3 una proporci\u00f3n de hombres y mujeres de 2:1. Los pacientes con resultados positivos se diagnosticaron con tinea capitis (78,95 %), tinea faciei (15,79 %) y tinea corporis (10,52 %). El 75,43 % de los pacientes recibi\u00f3 tratamiento previo y de estos el 69,73 % fue con esteroides. El examen directo fue positivo en el 53,84 % y los cultivos en el 46,5 % de los casos. Los agentes aislados fueron: Microsporum canis (77,77 %), Trichophyton spp. (11,11 %), Trichophyton rubrum (5,55 %) y Malassezia spp. (5,55 %).Conclusi\u00f3n. Tinea capitis fue la presentaci\u00f3n cl\u00ednica m\u00e1s com\u00fan y M. canis el dermatofito m\u00e1s frecuentemente aislado.
