Emergence of resistant dermatophytosis caused by Trichophyton indotineae: First case series in Thailand
Abstract
We identified 5 Thai patients diagnosed with Trichophyton indotineae infection after screening of patients with culture results consistent with Trichophyton mentagrophytes complex who had negative urease test and confirmed by molecular analysis in DNA sequencing at the internal transcribed spacer region, including abnormalities in the Squalene epoxidase gene in 2 patients, which confirmed the spread of terbinafine resistant dermatophytosis in Thailand.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
