Tinea versicolor Tinea nigra white piedra and black piedra
Clinics in Dermatology, 2010Co-Authors: Alexandro Bonifaz, Fernando Gomezdaza, Vanessa Paredes, Rosa Maria PonceAbstract:Superficial mycoses are fungal infections limited to the stratum corneum and its adnexal structures. The most frequent types are dermatophytoses or Tineas. Tinea versicolor involves the skin in the form of hypochromic or hyperchromic plaques, and Tinea nigra affects the skin of the palms with dark plaques. White piedra and black piedra are parasitic infections of scalp hairs in the form of concretions caused by fungal growth. Diagnosis of these mycoses is made from mycologic studies, direct examination, stains, and isolation, and identification of the fungi. Treatment includes systemic antifungals, topical antifungals, and keratolytics.

Evaluation of efficacy and safety of 2% Liranaftate cream in the treatment of Tinea pedis and Tinea corporis & cruris
Chinese Journal of Mycology, 2007Co-Authors: Li Ruo-yuAbstract:Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of liranaftate 2% cream and bifonazole 1% cream in the treatment of Tinea pedis and Tinea corporis cruris.Methods A multi-center,double-blind,randomized controlled trial was conducted.Liranaftate 2% cream and bifonazole 1% cream were applied in the trial and control group respectively once daily for 4 weeks to Tinea pedis and for 2 weeks to Tinea corporis cruris.Results Seventy-one cases in the trial group and 70 cases in control group were evaluated for Tinea pedis;70 cases in the trial group and 69 cases in the control group were evaluated for Tinea corporis cruris.The clinical effective rates for Tinea pedis at week 4 were 97.2% in the trial group and 92.9% in control group;and 100% versus 98.6% at week 6 respectively.Mycological cure rates for Tinea pedis at week 4 were 93.0% in the trial group and 94.3% in control group;and 94.4% versus 92.9% at week 6 respectively.The total effective rates for Tinea pedis at week 4 were 90.1% in the trial group and 88.6% in control group;and 94.4% versus 92.9% at week 6 respectively.The clinical effective rates for Tinea corporis cruris at week 2 were 97.1% in the trial group and 95.7% in control group;and 97.1% versus 94.2% at week 4 respectively.Mycological cure rates for Tinea corporis cruris at week 2 were 94.3% in the trial group and 95.7% in control group;and 97.1% versus 97.1% at week 4 respectively.The total effective rates for Tinea corporis cruris at week 2 were 92.9% in the trial group and 91.3% in control group;and 95.7% versus 94.2% at week 4 respectively.Treatment-related adverse events consisted of local irritation,occurred in 1.4% of patients in the control group.The effcacy and safety of liranaftate 2% cream in the treatment of Tinea pedis and Tinea corporis cruris are similar to that of bifonazole 1% cream(P0.05).Conclusion This study suggest that liranaftate 2% cream was effective and safe in the treatment of Tinea pedis and Tinea corporis cruris.

Double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial of butenafine hydrochloride 1% cream in the treatment of Tinea corporis and cruris and Tinea pedis
The Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2004Co-Authors: Li Ruo-yuAbstract:Objective To study the efficacy and safety of butenafine hydrochloride1% cream in the treatment of Tinea corporis and cruris and Tinea pedis. MethodsButenafine hydrochloride 1% cream was compared with bifonazole 1% cream andwas applied once daily for 2 weeks in the treatment of Tinea corporis and cruris andfor 4 weeks in the treatment of Tinea pedis, both treatment groups had 2 weeks offollow-up observation after the end of treatment. Results Overall cure rates for Tineacorporis and cruris at follow-up 2 weeks 81.0% in trial group and 70.5% in controlgroup; overall effective rates were 98.3% versus 91.8%, respectively. Overall curerates for Tinea pedis at follow-up 2 weeks 47.6% in trial group and 50.8% in controlgroup; overall effective rates were 93.6% versus93.6%, respectively. The improvedrates between two groups had no statistic differences(P0.05). Conclusion Butenafinehydrochloride 1% cream is a topical drug with good efficacy, safety and tolerabilityin the treatment of Tinea corporis and cruris and Tinea pedis.
