| pubmed-article:6724127 | pubmed:abstractText | Povidone-Iodine (Betadine) Paint was used in thirteen patients with a proven fungal infection. Ten patients had pityriasis versicolor, two had trichophyton rubrum and one M. canis. In the pityriasis versicolor group, seven out of the ten patients were either improved or cleared up completely within 7 days. There were no adverse reactions in this group of patients and the material proved quite acceptable to them. Scanning electron micrographs were carried out on three of the patients and demonstrated the decrease in fungal elements after treatment and clinical improvement. | lld:pubmed |
