Abstract

This paper reports a case of Tinea imbricata in a young Orang Asli boy which was noted during his admission for severe symptomatic anemia. Upon discharge, he was started on syrup Griseofulvin 10mg/kg daily and Whitfield cream for 4 weeks. The Department of Orang Asli Development (JAKOA) and the local Health Clinic were contacted before discharge to facilitate patient’s follow-up and monitoring. Outbreaks of Tinea imbricata among the Orang Asli have been known to happen from time to time. Although this dermatophyte infection is rare in the urban population, transmission among travelers has been reported. This case report highlights its unique presentation and treatment approach.
