  • Title: Dermatophytosis. A review of diagnosis and current therapy.
    Author: DeLauro TM, Hodge W.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 1986 Jul; 3(3):427-32. PubMed ID: 2943391.
    Abstract:
    Inhibition of fungal growth and accelerated keratolysis are the necessary ingredients of dermatophyte therapy. Often, the primary fungus is destroyed by secondary bacterial invasion or the body's immune response. Clinicians must recognize this possibility and, in such instances, treat the bacterial infection or immune response rather than the suspected dermatophyte.
