Evaluation of the heat sensitivity of Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton interdigitale
Onychomycosis affects up to 50% of patients in the older population.This study aimed to explore heat sensitivity of Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton interdigitale as pathogens of onychomycosis.The fungi were heated in sterile saline solution up to 100°C for five or 10 minutes with or without additional previous treatment with 1% ciclopirox solution
