Consensus recommendations for Trichophyton indotineae: A modified Delphi study
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.A modified Delphi consensus for suspected terbinafine‐resistant T. indotineae: confirm dermatophytes with KOH microscopy/culture and species‐level PCR/ITS sequencing. Itraconazole is recommended as first‐line systemic therapy, with luliconazole 1% cream as a topical adjunct. Posaconazole may be considered if itraconazole fails, while keeping antifungal
