- Abstract
Dermatophytosis in horses is a common cutaneous condition and occasionally causes human infection.1 Treatment generally involves topical antifungal drugs such as clotrimazole (CTZ), miconazole (MCZ) and terbinafine (TRF), because systemic therapy is expensive and has yet-unproven efficacy and safety. Notably, the I in vitro i antifungal susceptibility test demonstrated that LCZ was more effective than the other azoles and TRF. LCZ is a topical antifungal imidazole that is approved as a 1% cream in the United States for management of human dermatophytosis with a short-term treatment regimen.
