Abstract
Itraconazole 5 mg/kg/day given as pulse therapy, each of 1 week duration, for 1 to 3 pulses appears to be an effective and safe method of treating tinea capitis. The number of pulses of therapy may depend upon several factors, including the severity of disease and area of involvement. Controlled studies are needed to determine the number of pulses of itraconazole required to treat tinea capitis.Keywords
