[Recalcitrant dermatophytosis]
Abstract
In recent years, we have witnessed a rise in antifungal resistance, notably due to the emergence of Trichophyton indotineae, which is highly resistant to terbinafine. In Denmark, Trichophyton rubrum remains the most frequent causative agent. Antifungal susceptibility testing when resistance is suspected is critical for guiding treatment decisions. To prevent recalcitrant dermatophytosis from becoming endemic, it is essential to implement surveillance programs, screen close contacts, and restrict the use of topical antifungal agents.
