[Treatment of a terbinafine-resistant trichophyton mentagrophytes type VIII]
Abstract:
This article reports on a patient suffering from terbinafine-resistant tinea corporis acquired in Asia. Trichophyton mentagrophytes type VIII was first isolated in India. In the past few years, it has gained clinical relevance by causing terbinafine-resistant tinea corporis and cruris. Therefore, in cases of recalcitrant tinea in persons returning from Asia, systemic itraconazole should be started. Specially formulated itraconazole enables high bioavailability despite lower dosage.
