Results: SBS and SK screened papers against eligibility criteria. ", Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias), Quote: "a doubleblind study." False-negative KOH preparations often result from inadequate scrapings. The attrition rate was 32%, which was judged to be high risk of bias. Terbinafine, an allylamine, was also introduced. We judged this to be at low risk of bias for this domain. Blinding of key study participants and personnel attempted, but likely that the blinding could have been broken. 11. random$.mp. (tinea and (foot or feet)).ti,ab. et al. We contacted the company, but did not receive a reply. For each trial we calculated the cure rates (the primary outcome measure) at each outcome point from the reported mycological results. As there was no evidence of heterogeneity (I statistic = 0%) between the 3 trials with a common treatment length of 4 weeks, data for the final outcome measurements were pooled, using a fixedeffect model. For this first update of the review, we undertook a 'Risk of bias' assessment following the guidance in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions (Higgins 2011). Does griseofulvin interact with my other drugs? Kilkenny M, The trial appeared to be free from other sources of potential bias. National Library of Medicine Tinea corporis may be mistaken for many other skin disorders, especially eczema, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis (Table 2).2,3 A potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation is often helpful when the diagnosis is uncertain based on history and visual inspection. Clayton YM. Quote: "No significant inter group differences were seen, although the placebo group had fewer men (22 versus 30).". After heating the slide, tap down the coverslip to compress the sample and separate the hyphae from the squamous cells. S7 (MH "Placebos") Only indifference was observed for the combinations of allicin with griseofulvin and fluconazole. S8 (MH "Quantitative Studies") Quote: "Prior to breaking randomisation code". Tinea corporis (ringworm), includes tinea gladiatorum and tinea faciei, Tinea manuum (commonly presents with one-hand, two-feet involvement), Tinea barbae (beard infection in male adolescents and adults), Tinea incognito (altered appearance of dermatophyte infection caused by topical steroids), Pityriasis versicolor (formerly tinea versicolor) caused by, Uncommon fungal skin infections that involve other organs (e.g., blastomycosis, sporotrichosis), Tinea corporis (annular lesions with well-defined, scaly, often reddish margins; commonly pruritic), Gray or silver scale; nail pitting; 70% of affected children have family history of psoriasis, Personal or family history of atopy; less likely to have active border with central clearing; lesions may be lichenified, Target lesions; acute onset; no scale; may have oral lesions, Dusky; erythematous; usually single, nonscaly lesion; most often triggered by sulfa, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or antibiotic use, No scale, vesicles, or pustules; nonpruritic; smooth; commonly on dorsum of hands or feet, Sun-exposed areas; multiple annular lesions; female-to-male ratio 3:1, More confluent scale; less likely to have central clearing, Typically an adolescent with a single lesion on neck, trunk, or proximal extremity; pruritus of herald patch is less common; progression to generalized rash in one to three weeks, Greasy scale on erythematous base with typical distribution involving nasolabial folds, hairline, eyebrows, postauricular folds, chest; annular lesions less common, Tinea cruris (usually occurs in male adolescents and young men; spares scrotum and penis), Involves scrotum; satellite lesions; uniformly red without central clearing, Red-brown; no active border; coral red fluorescence with a Wood lamp examination, Red and sharply demarcated; may have other signs of psoriasis such as nail pitting, Tinea pedis (rare in prepubertal children; erythema, scale, fissures, maceration; itching between toes extending to sole, borders, and occasionally dorsum of foot; may be accompanied by tinea manuum [one-hand, two-feet involvement] or onychomycosis), Distribution may match footwear; usually spares interdigital skin, Tapioca pudding vesicles on lateral aspects of digits; often involves hands, May have atopic history; usually spares interdigital skin, Shiny taut skin involving great toe, ball of foot, and heel; usually spares interdigital skin, Involvement of other sites; gray or silver scale; nail pitting; 70% of affected children have family history of psoriasis, Tinea capitis (one or more patches of alopecia, scale, erythema, pustules, tenderness, pruritus, with cervical and suboccipital lymphadenopathy; most common in children of African heritage), Discrete patches of hair loss with no epidermal changes (i.e., no scale); total loss of hair or fine miniature hair growth; exclamation point hairs; no crusting; no inflammation; possible nail pitting, Personal history or family history of atopy; less often annular; lymphadenopathy uncommon; alopecia less common, Alopecia less likely; hair pluck is painful, Alopecia uncommon; lymphadenopathy uncommon; greasy scale; typical distribution involving nasolabial folds, hairline, eyebrows, postauricular folds, chest, No scale; commonly involves eyelashes and eyebrows; hairs of varying lengths, Onychomycosis (discolored [white, yellow, brown], thickened nail with subungual keratinous debris and possible nail detachment; often starting with great toe but can involve any nail), Other nail dystrophies, most commonly associated with repeated low-grade trauma, psoriasis, or lichen planus, Appearance can be indistinguishable from onychomycosis; may have other manifestations of alternate diagnosis, Do not use nystatin to treat any tinea infection because dermatophytes are resistant to nystatin. It was not clear from the report whether the treatment provider was blinded in this 'double blind' study. Chapter 8: Assessing risk of bias in included studies. Alternatively, place a coverslip over the dry scrapings and a drop or two of KOH next to the coverslip and allow it to run under the coverslip. Comparison 2 Different types of antifungals, Outcome 2 Cured (itraconazole 100 mg/day versus fluconazole 50 mg/day). Lesions may be single or multiple and the size generally ranges from 1 to 5 cm, but larger lesions and confluence of lesions can also occur. The more common chronic form is characterized by scaling, peeling, and erythema between the toes; however, it can spread to other areas of the foot. Marks R. The prevalence of common skin conditions in Australian school students: 4 Tinea pedis, Achilles foot screening project: preliminary results of patients screened by dermatologists. In the case of terbinafine, 65% of participants were cured 2 weeks after the end of the 6week treatment period (RR 24.54, 95% CI 1.57 to 384.32; Analysis 1.1). "44 participants who were eligible for evaluation". We resolved disagreements about 'Risk of bias' assessment by discussion. Houpt K, Only 3 trials (Hay 1995; Roberts 1987; Savin 1990b) assessed the condition at 12 weeks or beyond. Accessibility Comparative double blind, double dummy study on the efficacy and safety of fluconazole 100mg/day versus terbinafine 250mg/day in the treatment of dermatomycoses, Giornale Italiano di Dermatologia e Venereologia. Djavahiszwili N, 8600 Rockville Pike 18 not 19 No significant difference was detected between terbinafine and itraconazole, fluconazole and itraconazole, fluconazole and ketoconazole, or between griseofulvin and ketoconazole, although the trials were generally small. Urbanowski S, No statistically significant difference was shown (Analysis 3.1; Analysis 3.2). Mycological cure, as demonstrated by negative results on microscopy and no growth of dermatophyte in culture. Any treatment administered orally that aims to treat the fungal infection. The spores of T. tonsurans will be contained within the hair shaft, but for the less common Microsporum canis, the spores will coat the outside of the hair shaft. et al. et al. The EU Clinical Trials Register (https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/). Quote: "Sixtysix participants were enrolled in the study." We included 15 trials, involving 1438 participants. Conclusions: There has been 1 trial investigating bovine lactoferrin (LF) 600 mg and 2000 mg with placebo (Yamanchi 2000).

Lynda Spelman, MD, Principal Investigator, South East Dermatology, South East Dermatology, Carina QLD 4152, Australia. Epub 2016 Aug 8. These were recorded in all but one trial (Roberts 1987). Budimulja U, Young P, ", Quote: "Participants were observed by a single observer before commencing treatment and at weeks 2, 4, 8 and 12.". There were 133 evaluable participants, who were not allocated equally among the 3 arms. Nolting S, used numbered boxes containing study medication; Higgins JPT, The inclusion criteria of the review on Oral Treatments for fungal infections of the skin of the foot, state that only oral comparisons will be included, therefore any trial that compared an oral drug to a topical preparation would be excluded from the review. You seem to have restricted your review to Tinea pedis excluding Onchomycosis and LION study concerned mainly with Onchymocosis. Gupta AK, Adam P, Dlova N, Lynde CW, Hofstader S, Morar N, Aboobaker J, Summerbell RC. This outcome is recognised as the most effective way of assessing if the fungal infection has been eradicated; evaluating the condition by its appearance alone is not reliable (. This gave a risk ratio of 1.07 (95% CI 0.92 to 1.25; Analysis 2.1), which was not statistically significant. This review compared different oral antifungal drugs (i.e. Write a review. A Wood lamp examination may be helpful to distinguish tinea from erythrasma because the causative organism of erythrasma (Corynebacterium minutissimum) exhibits a coral red fluorescence. Griseofulvin was found to be slightly better than fluconazole. There is little point in finding a drug treatment that achieves a good cure rate if the condition reappears some weeks after treatment has ended. 18. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! In summary, terbinafine is more effective than griseofulvin, and one trial demonstrated evidence to support the use of terbinafine over itraconazole when given for a twoweek treatment period. You have chosen to divide evidence on treatments of fungal skin infections in at least three reviews (oral/foot, topical foot/nail, and rest of body). Oral antifungal drugs for treating athlete's foot (tinea pedis). The trial appeared to be free from other sources of potential bias. Many of the advantages of oral treatment regimens are obvious; they are less time consuming and thought to have better compliance. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. Comment: No study protocol was available. doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0507.2011.02127.x.

Most topical treatments for tinea pedis are available overthecounter and as such, are accessible for selftreatment, as well as being recommended by podiatrists and other healthcare professionals. Higgins JP, Because there is an increase in concentrations of lactoferrin at sites of infection during the inflammatory response, it is thought that lactoferrin is able to keep the iron bound, thus, preventing its use for bacterial proliferation (Alderova 2008).
