ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Among 207 914 multimember households with a tinea case, a secondary case was diagnosed in another household member in 8.5%. Excluding same-day diagnoses (20%), the median time from index case to first secondary case was 138 days. To prevent household tinea transmission, appropriate treatment and strategies to reduce environmental contamination are needed.
