Tinea capitis in the adult: two case studies.

The authors describe two cases of tinea capitis in adults, one due to Microsporum canis and the other to Trichophyton rubrum. The atypical clinical presentation of the dermatophytosis in these two cases is stressed. It is hypothesized that in both cases the disease spread from primary lesion on the face.

Therapeutic experience with ketoconazole.

The efficacy of ketoconazole was evaluated in forty-five patients with dermatophytoses, in twelve with candidosis, in two with fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis, in one with primary cutaneous cryptococcosis and in one with pulmonary aspergillosis. Patients received 200 mg daily of ketoconazole until complete cure, except for patients with vulvovagnitis who received 400 mg daily for five days. All patients with dermatophytoses were cured within 20 to 40 days. No recurrences were observed at post-therapy follow-up. Patients with candidosis were also cured, with only one recurrence. Patients with deep mycoses recovered, except for one with fixed cutaneous sporotrichosis, who showed slight improvement. No significant side-effects were observed during therapy. In conclusion, ketoconazole is an effective therapeutic agent for fungal infections.
