This study found that higher-dose fluconazole (400 mg/d) for two months or longer commonly causes reversible alopecia, which can be resolved by discontinuing or reducing the dosage.

This study reports two HIV-infected men with a rare M. canis infection unresponsive to ketoconazole and terbinafine, where itraconazole was effective but prolonged treatment led to only one cure.

In this study, researchers isolated five new compounds from Monascus purpureus wmd2424 and found that four exhibited mild antifungal activity against several fungi.

This study found that 1-day itraconazole therapy was more effective for acute vulvovaginal candidosis than for recurrent cases, where relapses occurred despite no yeast resistance.

This review discusses feline dermatophytosis and emphasizes the importance of early detection and appropriate treatment, but it reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses the challenges in diagnosing tinea capitis and highlights the need for laboratory confirmation and systemic treatment due to the limited effectiveness of topical antifungals; no new clinical results are presented.

This study found that the new cocrystal formulation KET-PABA improved the antimycotic efficiency of ketoconazole and induced an anti-inflammatory response without causing skin sensitization in mice.

This case report describes a Persian cat with dermatophytic pseudomycetoma that initially responded to griseofulvin treatment and surgical excision, but the condition relapsed, ultimately leading to the cat's death.

This study suggests that itraconazole may significantly improve therapy for aspergillosis, with 12 out of 15 evaluable patients responding to the treatment.

This source discusses how the skin mycobiome, dominated by Malassezia fungi, may provide a unique niche that can be disrupted by environmental changes, potentially leading to the fungal pathogen C. auris overtaking Malassezia and predisposing individuals to severe infections.

This case report describes a 52-year-old woman with erythema annulare centrifugum after using topical luliconazole and oral itraconazole, suggesting a drug-induced reaction confirmed by a positive rechallenge test.

This study highlights that dermatophytosis, a common fungal skin infection in cats, caused by Microsporum and Trichophyton species, typically resolves on its own but may be more severe in immunocompromised individuals and young animals.

This paper discusses tinea capitis in adults, emphasizing that it particularly affects postmenopausal African American or Black women, and notes challenges in treatment due to antifungal resistance.

This study highlights the potential of a ketoconazole antifungal hair spray as an innovative and effective topical method for treating tinea capitis, offering benefits such as easy application, improved drug penetration, and reduced systemic exposure compared to conventional treatments.

In this case study, a Persian cat with dermatophytosis showed a reduction in skin lesions after being treated with oral itraconazole and topical ketoconazole.

This study found that dermoscopy combined with calcium fluorescent white staining effectively aided in the early diagnosis and treatment evaluation of tinea capitis by highlighting specific hair changes and fluorescent patterns associated with different dermatophyte infections in a sample of 20 patients.

In this report, Gupta et al found that transplant recipients who discontinued fluconazole prophylaxis after the first year, despite having EIA-IgM positivity for coccidioidomycosis, did not develop the infection, suggesting that stopping prophylaxis in low-risk patients might be reasonable, with ongoing monitoring.

This study found that terbinafine HCl nail solutions with or without DDAIP HCl significantly outperformed ciclopirox nail lacquer in treating guinea pig dermatophytosis, suggesting potential effectiveness for human nail infections.

In a guinea pig model of dermatophytosis, this study found that subcutaneous CD101, dosed once weekly, demonstrated significant clinical and mycological efficacy compared to the vehicle control and the oral antifungal terbinafine, suggesting potential for CD101 in treating fungal skin infections.

A young woman with a rare fungal infection showed significant improvement after treatment with antifungal medication.

The researchers reported that fluconazole was only modestly effective for treating sporotrichosis, particularly for osteoarticular or visceral cases, and is best considered a second-line treatment.

This study reports a rare case of tinea capitis in an adult female, where Malassezia species may facilitate Microsporum canis growth, and successful treatment with oral antifungals led to rash resolution and hair regrowth.

This review discusses the infection dermatophytosis in cats and reports no new results; it emphasizes the difficulty of eradicating the disease in shelters and catteries.
