Özet
Fungal infections are common at all ages, in both sexes, and they have a worldwide distribution, The increased use of immunosuppressive agents in organ transplantation and in the treatment of malignant lesions and the epidemic of AIDS are major reasons for the greater prevalence of fungal infections seen in clinical practice during the past decade. The most common type of fungal disease are dermatophyte infections. They are superficial infections of the keratinized epidermis and keratinized epidermal appendages, i.e., the hair, hairsheaths and nails. In recent years, because of the use of or over use of antibacterial antibiotics, immunosuppressive agents, cytotoxins, x-irridation and steroids, the opportunistic fungal infections which are a new category of systemic mycoses have become very prominent. Like the human host, fungi are eukaryotic organisms, therefore the number of suitable agents for therapy are limited. Generally, treatment of fungal infections include oral and topical agents. Oral therapies include griseofulvin, ketoconazole, terbinafine and itraconazole. When oral therapy is applied, care should be taken to monitor patients for toxicity. There are a large number of agents used in topical treatments, including nystatin, selenium sulfide, tolnaftate, haloprogin, miconazole and sodium thiosulfate. In addition, good personal hygiene is an Important adjunct to antifungal therapy.
