A case of tinea faciei, tinea corporis, and tinea unguium with dermatophytoma successfully treated with oral fosravuconazole l-lysine ethanolate

Abstract

We present a 76-year-old Japanese male with tinea faciei, tinea corporis, and tinea unguium with dermatophytoma. We performed fungal culture and confirmed the causative fungus to be Trichophyton rubrum. We treated the patient using oral fosravuconazole l-lysine ethanolate (F-RVCZ). More than one year has passed since the end of treatment, but there has been no recurrence. This case suggests that F-RVCZ is effective for tinea other than tinea unguium.
