In this study, terbinafine reached high concentrations in stratum corneum and sebum after oral administration, with drug levels remaining above fungicidal concentrations for over three weeks.

This case report highlights the effective treatment of tinea capitis with griseofulvin in a young girl, even when previous antifungal treatments were used.

In this case study, the researchers diagnosed a young male cat with dermatitis caused by a fungal infection, specifically identifying Penicillium and Aspergillus species, and observed improvement in symptoms following a two-week treatment with grisofulvin, chlorphenamine maleate, and fish oil shampoo.

This case study reports the first documented instance of kerion Celsi in a child caused by Microsporum gypseum, likely transmitted from a guinea pig, with remission observed following combination therapy.

This study found that certain non-dermatophytic moulds, specifically *Absidia* sp., *Cladosporium tenuissimum*, and *Aspergillus welwitschiae*, can cause skin symptoms such as discoloration and lesions in albino mice, suggesting potential virulence due to enzyme activity.

This study found that duloxetine and escitalopram exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, while buspirone had selective effects, and finasteride disrupted yeast virulence traits, suggesting these drugs could be repurposed as antimicrobial therapies.

This study found that treating paracoccidioidomycosis-infected mice with a nanoparticle formulation of itraconazole led to higher drug accumulation in lung, liver, and spleen tissues, improved treatment efficacy, and reduced side effects compared to traditional oral solutions.

This paper discusses the diagnostic challenges and treatment options for folliculotropic mycosis fungoides, emphasizing the differing prognoses between its indolent and aggressive subtypes and reporting no new clinical results.

This case study describes successful treatment of a siamang's persistent Microsporum canis infection using a sustained-release clotrimazole varnish, leading to lesion resolution after two years of clinical signs.

The two lotions used day and night may be a good alternative to minoxidil for hair loss treatment with better cosmetic effects and tolerance.

In this case report, a 2-month-old girl with tinea capitis showed significant improvement after treatment with oral griseofulvin and topical ketoconazole. The study emphasizes the importance of layered diagnostics and systemic therapy for effective management of this fungal scalp infection in infants.

This case report describes a Dogo Argentino dog with M. nanum infection, likely from hunting wild boar, that responded well to itraconazole and topical miconazole treatment.

This study reported complete clinical clearance of tinea capitis in a 3-year-old boy after 8 weeks of treatment with oral griseofulvin and ketoconazole shampoo.

This article discusses the formulation and evaluation of hair gels that may improve the treatment and prevention of dandruff by providing longer-lasting effects compared to traditional shampoos and lotions, but it reports no new clinical findings.

Long-term use of azole antifungals can cause hair loss, hormonal imbalances, and severe skin reactions.

In this case study, treatment with terbinafine effectively resolved symptoms of tinea capitis in an eight-year-old male, highlighting trichoscopy as a valuable diagnostic tool for this common fungal scalp infection and proposing its integration with clinical data for quicker diagnosis in settings lacking mycological facilities.

This study found that carbon dots derived from fucoidan effectively inhibit Enterococcus faecalis and its biofilm, offering a promising approach for managing biofilm-associated persistent endodontic infections.

This study found that terbinafine prevented the invasion of keratin by Trichophyton mentagrophytes in experimental models replicating human dermatomycoses.

This case report discusses the clinical features and management of tinea capitis, highlighting its occurrence in adults and the continued preference for griseofulvin treatment.

This report of a 90-year-old girl with tinea capitis indicates that griseofulvin remains the main treatment, showing improvement after eight weeks of therapy.

This article provides an updated overview of the diagnosis and management of tinea infections but reports no new clinical findings.

In this retrospective analysis, combination therapy with tofacitinib and oral minoxidil led to significant scalp hair regrowth in patients with severe alopecia areata, with 67% achieving at least 75% regrowth, although the small sample size limits the findings.

In this study, a case of a Spitz dog with refractory dermatophytosis demonstrated marked clinical improvement and complete cure with Posaconazole, highlighting the potential of antifungal susceptibility testing to guide effective treatment in persistent infections unresponsive to standard therapies.

This study concluded that clotrimazole, miconazole, and tolnaftate appeared safe in guinea pigs, whereas gentian violet showed potential for severe ototoxicity, and nystatin left a concerning residue.

This study found that fluconazole was associated with telogen effluvium in both a rat model and human patients, although retinoic acid levels were not identified as a causal factor.

In this case report, an atypical form of tinea favosa in an 11-year-old girl was initially misdiagnosed, highlighting the importance of mycological examination for accurate diagnosis, especially when diffuse scalp scaling is present.

This study suggests that fusaric acid at nontoxic concentrations may activate signal transduction in plants which could aid in the plant-defense responses against Fusarium spp.

This report describes two cases of atypical Malassezia folliculitis in immunosuppressed patients, highlighting diagnostic challenges due to non-classical presentation in non-seborrheic areas.
