Extract:

A school-age child with white flakes that don’t brush off the hair and a rash on the back of the neck


Question 1 of 5

A school nurse is assessing a school-age child and notices white flakes that don't brush off the hair and a rash on the back of the child's neck. The nurse should suspect which of the following disorders?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Tinea capitis. This fungal infection presents with white flakes that adhere to the hair shaft, known as "spaghetti and meatball" appearance, and can cause a rash on the back of the neck. Pediculosis capitis (choice
A) is head lice, which would cause itching and visible lice or eggs. Impetigo contagiosa (choice
B) is a bacterial skin infection with honey-colored crusted lesions, not associated with white flakes in the hair. Folliculitis (choice
C) is an infection of the hair follicles, typically presenting as red bumps or pustules, not white flakes. In summary, the key features of tinea capitis match the symptoms described, making it the most likely diagnosis in this case.
