Background: Tinea pedis (athlets foot) is the most common fungal infection. Relapse is common in tinea pedis and may be result of recurrence following inadequate treatment or reinfection. Objective: To evaluate the comparable efficacy of terbinafine and itraconazole in the treatment of tinea pedis. Methods: 120 patients of tinea pedis confirmed by KOH microscopy were included in the study. The study was carried out in three different Hospitals and Private Chambers for a period of 3 years from July 2006 to June 2009. Mean age of the patients was 40.28±10.23. The patients were devided into 2 equal group:A & B. Group- A was given terbinafine 250 mg/day and group-B was given intraconazole 200 mg/day for 2 weeks. Results: Follow up 2 weeks after cessation of therapy revealed clinical and mycological cure of 93.3% in terbinafine group and 86.6% in itraconazole group. Conclusion: Efficacy analysis revealed that terbinafine is superior than itraconazole in the treatment of tinea pedis (P value 0.224).

Background: Besides a wholesome food, honey is known for its therapeutic implications. We investigated the antifungal activity of five honeys of different types from Pakistan against various pathogenic fungal strains. Antifungal properties of processed and non-processed honey were determined. Materials and Methods: The antifungal assay of honey was carried out against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigates, Alterneria alternata, Fusarium solanai, Microsporum canis, Penicillium funiculosium and Rhizopus solanai. Different dilutions of honey samples were used (20%, 50%, 70%, 90% and 100% w/v so as to find out the minimum effective concentration of each honey type. Results: It was observed that all of the honey samples were highly active, with percent inhibition range of (3-81%) for Aspergillus niger, (2-82%) for Aspergillus flavus, (1-76%) for Aspergillus fumigates, (1-84%) for Alterneria alternata, (2-67%) for Fusarium solanai, (1-87%) Microsporum canis, (2-78%) Penicillium funiculosium and (1-86%) for Rhizopus solanai. Conclusion:The study of Pakistani honey brands reveals that they possess a substantial antifungal nature. Therefore, they may be used in curing fungal infections along with antifungal drugs as a cheaper alternative natural remedy with no side effects.
