Materials and Methods: In our study, a total of 1270 samples were processed and all were examined by KOH preparation and fungal culture methods. Results: In the present study, males are infected more than females with a ratio of 1.17; the incidence of Tinea capitis is 25.41% among children aged 1-15 years. The positivity rate of KOH preparation is 77.54%. Trichophyton violaceum is the most common fungal isolated (82.3%) followed by Microsporum canis. Inflammatory ringworm occurs in rural areas. Conclusion: In our geographical area, microsporiasis which was almost absent is in full progression, whereas ringworm favosa is in net regression.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Microsporum canis, Ringworm, Scalp</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://journal-jmsr.net/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=6294&title=Clinical and Mycological Features of Scalp Ringworm in Children’s Hospital in Rabat</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References>1.
