There has been an increase in reported cases of dermatophytosis caused by the T. mentagrophytes complex, which could reveal an emerging public health problem that requires attention due to the variable response to antifungal agents, the extensive and severe lesions, and sexual transmission.
SUMMARY The traditional landscape of dermatophyte infections has changed over the past decade. The emergence and global expansion of Trichophyton indotineae have highlighted the impact of irrational and uncontrolled antifungal and topical corticosteroid use, presented treatment challenges, and highlighted the deficienc...

Dermatophytosis is evolving from a predictable superficial infection into a challenging clinical problem due to antifungal resistance, especially the emergence and global dissemination of Trichophyton indotineae. Pakistan is not exempted from this emerging threat. Recent laboratory-based evidence from Karachi has isola...

Dermatophytosis affects approximately 25% of the world population. Terbinafine, an antifungal medication, was historically used to treat this condition. However, the infection caused by a newer fungal species called
Trichophyton indotineae
has changed this situation, as it responds poorly to terbinafine. Moreover,...
