Abstract

The increasing worldwide resistance to terbinafine and older antifungal drugs, coupled with often erratic clinical responses to itraconazole, leaves dermatologists with limited options to deal with dermatophytic infections. Recalcitrant dermatophytoses has however, over past few years, become a significant public health issue, especially in India. In this context, we present a patient who failed four systemic antifungals sequentially and was subsequently cured with a 2 week course of voriconazole, an antifungal not routinely used for dermatophytoses as yet.
