Improved effectiveness of an increased dose of griseofulvin for treating Tinea capitis among refugee children in Israel: A retrospective cohort study.

The over-crowded day care centres and dense living make refugee children more susceptible to TC than the general population, and griseofulvin dosage adjustment is necessary. TC, due to Trichophyton species, could benefit from receiving an increased dose of griseofulvin in a suspension form, which is cheaper than terbinafine.
