    Author: Huang DB, Ostrosky-Zeichner L, Wu JJ, Pang KR, Tyring SK.
    Journal: Dermatol Ther; 2004; 17(6):517-22. PubMed ID: 15571501.
    Abstract:
    Superficial fungal infections are common, especially onychomycosis, dermatophytoses, and superficial Candida infections. Most superficial fungal infections are treated with topical antifungal agents unless the infection covers an extensive area or is resistant to initial therapy. Onychomycosis often requires systemic therapy with griseofulvin, itraconazole, or terbinafine. The objective of this review is to provide the practicing dermatologist with the recommended available therapy for the treatment of common superficial fungal infections.
