Presumed Trichophyton indotineae Infection in Children: A Call for Heightened Clinical Awareness
ABSTRACT Trichophyton indotineae is a fungus that is often antifungal‐resistant and presents with exuberant infection. It has been increasingly reported across the world, posing significant diagnostic challenges. We describe a case of a toddler with a history of travel to Bangladesh, presenting with persistent annular scaling plaques of dermatophytosis

Terbinafine in the treatment of onychomycosis [PDF]
Griseofulvin has been the standard therapy for dermatophyte onychomycosis, but is relatively unsuccessful, effecting a cure in only 30–40% of patients after 18 months. Of the new drugs for this indication, terbinafine (Lamisi®) appears to be the most successful. The first multicentre trial in the UK involved 103 patients receiving terbinafine at 250 mg/
