Pseudomonas toe web infections.
We present the case of a patient with a presumed tinea pedis infection who was referred to us after being treated with oral griseofulvin for two weeks with no improvement. We used a simple Wood's light examination and culture to establish the diagnosis of Pseudomonas toe web infection and achieved rapid resolution with oral ciprofloxacin treatment and local application of Castellani's paint.
