BACKGROUND
The diagnosis of tinea versicolor can usually be made by clinical examination. Either potassium hydroxide (KOH) or Wood's light fluorescence are used to corroborate the diagnosis. Albert's solution has been reported as a method of visualizing dermatophytes. We compared Albert's solution
BACKGROUND
The mycological study of pityriasis versicolor is usually done by potassium hydroxide (KOH) mount and culture. However, KOH mount lacks a color contrast and requires a trained eye to interpret, while culture is difficult to perform, time consuming and has low sensitivity. Chicago Sky Blue
BACKGROUND
Pityriasis Versicolor (PV) is a common health problem caused by genus Malassezia, a lipophilic fungi found as a part of the normal flora of skin. Although PV is common in Egypt, there is little information regarding the Malassezia species distribution in PV patients to date.
OBJECTIVE
To
Tinea versicolor (TV) is a superficial cutaneous fungal infection characterized by cutaneous pigment changes, pruritus, scaling, and erythema. This open-label, single-center pilot study evaluated the efficacy and safety of naftifine 1% gel applied twice daily for 2 weeks in 10 men and women (median
BACKGROUND
Tinea (pityriasis) versicolor is a superficial infection of the stratum corneum by the lipophilic fungus known as Malassezia furfur.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 400 mg single dose or 7-day 200 mg daily dose of itraconazole capsules in the treatment of mycologically
Sulconazole nitrate, a new imidazole derivative, was formulated at 1% concentration in a cream vehicle and compared with 2% miconazole nitrate cream in the treatment of tinea versicolor in a double-blind, multicenter, randomized, parallel clinical trial. At baseline, all of the 192 patients enrolled
We report a retrospective case-control study to investigate whether the rotundiform variant of pityriasis versicolor (PV) is significantly associated with the first episodes of PV. Our setting was a dermatology clinic run by a consultant dermatologist. We retrieved medical records of all patients
Fifty patients suffering from pityriasis versicolor were treated with either 2% ketoconazole cream (25 patients) or 1% terbinafine cream (25 patients). Diagnosis was confirmed by microscopic potassium hydroxide (KOH) examination and either of the cream was applied once daily for a duration of 2
BACKGROUND
The use of short-term oral azoles is an alternative to topical therapy in patients with tinea versicolor.
OBJECTIVE
We compared the efficacy and safety of oral itraconazole with that of placebo in 36 patients with mycologically proven tinea versicolor.
METHODS
Patients were randomly
The characteristic pigmentary changes in tinea versicolor are easy to distinguish from dermatophyte infections of the skin. When specific identification is needed, the diagnosis can be confirmed microscopically with a potassium hydroxide preparation or Polysciences Multiple Stain. Tinea versicolor
Pityriasis (tinea) versicolor is a common disorder of adults. We cared for five infants (four males and one female) with the disease. Diagnosis was confirmed by potassium hydroxide preparation demonstrating the filaments of Malassezia furfur and/or Pityrosporum orbiculare, the yeast form. Three
Pityriasis versicolor is one of the most frequent epidermal mycotic infections in the world, but its atrophic variant is rarely described. The aetiology of the atrophy is still unknown, and two main hypotheses have been formulated, one suggesting a correlation with long-term use of topical steroids
OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy of topical or systemic agents in the treatment and prevention of pityriasis versicolor.
METHODS
Systematic review and meta-analysis.
METHODS

Tinea versicolor is a common noninvasive cutaneous fungal disease. We recount a case of tinea versicolor that mimicked type I (classic adult) pityriasis rubra pilaris. A 54-year-old white man reported a 20-year history of a recurrent pruritic eruption that had marginally improved with use of
One hundred subjects with extensive pityriasis versicolor determined clinically and confirmed by wet preparations (potassium hydroxide positive) were studied. Its incidence in relation to sex, seasons and age groups was analyzed. More than fifty patients sought medical advice on grounds of cosmetic
