Trichophyton indotineae: first case in Ireland and response to topical griseofulvin

Abstract

We report the first case of Trichophyton indotineae in Ireland, highlighting the pathogen's resistance to conventional antifungal treatments and the necessity for advanced diagnostic techniques. Notably, the infection began to resolve when griseofulvin liquid was unintentionally used topically, suggesting an alternative treatment approach for this resistant dermatophyte.
