L Belli, and R Galimberti, and R Negroni, and R Rohwedder, and J M Castro

An open, multicentre study was carried out in 103 patients with confirmed dermatophyte infections (tinea cruris or tinea corporis). The fungi isolated were Tr. rubrum (45), Tr. mentagrophytes (11), Ep. floccosum (26) and M. canis (21). All patients were treated with a single daily application of bifonazole (1% gel) and the duration of treatment was 3 weeks. Weekly clinical controls were performed during the therapeutic period and at least two clinical and mycological examinations were given after the end of treatment. Treatment was evaluated according to the clinical and mycological findings at the 14th post-therapeutic day. The results obtained were classified as very good in 80 patients, good in 11, moderate in 11 and failure in 1 patient. Local tolerance was very good and no side-effects were observed in any patients.
