abstract
Tinea capitis is a fungal infection of the head which is characterized by hair loss and may leads to alopecia. Twornmale patients with Tinea capitis were treated in vivo successfully by using the matrix of the plant species Euphorbiarnparalias by applying the matrix either once a day for 7 days (patient 1) or twice a day for one month (patient 2).rnComplete recovery with hair repaired was observed after two months and one month for the patients 1 and 2rnrespectively. From this study we concluded that Euphorbia paralias matrix has potent antifungal activity that isrncapable of curing Dermatophytic infection in vivo. The appropriate way of treatment is by applying the matrix twicerna day for at least a month.
