Summary

This study looked at whether adding isotretinoin (a drug usually used for acne) to the standard antifungal itraconazole works better than itraconazole alone for treating resistant ringworm infections. About 148 adults with confirmed Trichophyton fungal infections took part. The goal was to see if the combination leads to higher cure rates and fewer relapses.
