Maintain a high index of suspicion for antifungal resistance when treating skin and hair dermatophytoses
摘要
Dermatophytoses (also known as tinea infections or ringworm), once easily managed with short-term antifungal therapy, are increasingly demonstrating resistance to standard of care antifungal treatments. Trichophyton indotineae has been identified as an emerging causative resistant fungal strain that is spreading globally. An increased awareness of antifungal-resistant dermatophyte infections, coupled with antifungal stewardship efforts, is needed to properly manage this group of fungal infections.
