“…Con estas medidas es posible lograr la resolución completa en dos a cuatro semanas, pudiendo haber recidiva en caso de reexposición. En la literatura, también hay re-portes de casos que han sido exitosamente tratados con itrazonazol oral con dosis que varían entre 100-200 mg/día por 3 a 4 semanas 1,18 . Así también hay informes de casos de curación espontánea de esta micosis 19 .…”
