Follow-up study after more than one year including 100 patients treated for superficial mycoses

A total of 100 patients with dermatomycoses were treated with econazole nitrate 1% or with the same compound combined with triamcinolone acetonide 0.1%. The patients were supposed to undergo clinical and mycological follow-up examinations at an average of 15 months after cure had been obtained. Of the 100 patients, 83 were followed up: 78 (95%) reported neither relapses nor reinfections; 4 (5%) presented with clinical symptoms and positive mycological examination and in 1 patient the mycological examination was positive but no clinical symptoms were present. Generally speaking, the results can be considered excellent.
