title: [Treatment of fungus infections of the skin with tioconazole (Mykontral)].
abstract: 73 patients with fungal infections due to dermatophytes (49), yeasts (16) and Malassezia furfur (8) could be cured clinically in 71% and mycologically in 88% of cases by the application of Mycontral-Lotion or -cream twice daily for 33 days on average. In 28% improvement could be reached, in one patient the therapy failed. Treatment is simple, clean and well acceptable. Side-effects occurred as slight redness, transient burning and pruritus on the eroded skin in the initial phase in 8 patients (11%). Mykontral contains 1% tioconazole as a modern imidazol compound. It has been characterized as an effective topical broad spectrum antimycotic agent. Its introduction and application in the GDR is to be recommended.
