Abstract: BACKGROUND: About 15% of the world population have fungal infections of the feet (tinea pedis or athlete's foot). There are many clinical presentations of tinea pedis, and most commonly, tinea pedis is seen between the toes (interdigital) and on the soles, heels, and sides of the foot (plantar). Plantar tinea pedis is known as moccasin foot. Once acquired, the infection can spread to other sites including the nails, which can be a source of re-infection. Oral therapy is usually used for chronic conditions or w… Show more

“…21 A Cochrane review revealed that TRB was significantly more effective in tinea pedis than griseofulvin, and TRB and ITRA were more effective than placebo. 22 In addition, TRB achieved higher clinical cure rates than ITRA or FLU in the treatment of onychomycosis. 22 Similarly, in vitro studies revealed that TRB had the lowest and FLU had the highest MIC values against dermatophytes.…”

“…22 In addition, TRB achieved higher clinical cure rates than ITRA or FLU in the treatment of onychomycosis. 22 Similarly, in vitro studies revealed that TRB had the lowest and FLU had the highest MIC values against dermatophytes. 17,23,24 The present study also identified TRB as having the lowest and FLU had the highest MIC values for all dermatophyte strains tested.…”

“…Previous studies [38][39][40][41] reported that TRB has a higher clinical cure with a slower relapse rates in a short period of treatment. 42 GSF was the first systemic treatment for skin and nail infections but demonstrate a limited spectrum of activity against dermatophytes. 43,44 Moreover, GSF demonstrates a MIC value >16 μg mL −1 against some resistant dermatophyte isolates 44,45 In addition, we note that GSF is less active against T. rubrum and T. interdigitale than the other antifungal agents beyond FLC.…”
