    Author: Biggio P, Aste N, Mulas P, Orru' A.
    Journal: Drugs Exp Clin Res; 1986; 12(5):415-8. PubMed ID: 3522161.
    Abstract:
    The therapeutic results of ketoconazole treatment in 61 patients affected by mycoses at various locations are reported. The mycotic conditions in these patients were: pityriasis versicolor (26), tinea cruris (14), tinea corporis (8), tinea pedis (6), kerion celsi (6) and monilial granuloma (1). Clinical and mycological cure was obtained in 56 cases (91.8%) over a mean treatment period from a minimum of 29 days (pityriasis versicolor) to a maximum of 39 days (tinea pedis) and 150 days (monilial granuloma), with a mean daily dosage of 200 mg in adults and 100 mg in children. The authors stress the high level of tolerability of the drug and its high therapeutic activity. They indicate the conditions for its use in superficial epidermomycoses and kerion celsi and note its unparalleled effect in chronic mucocutaneous candidosis.
