dc.description.abstract | Background: Tinea pedis is the most common dermatophytosis which is usually treated by antifungal agent. Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in potential phototherapy for the local treatment of bacterial and fungal infection. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of full spectrum light (F.S.L) phototherapy for patients with tinea pedis. Methods: Lesions were irradiated for 20 minutes, 2 times a week for 4 consecutive weeks with F.S.L. emitting wavelengths from 320 nm to 5000 nm. Clinical symptoms were observed and KOH direct smear and fungal culture were done. Results: Global assessment score was improved after the application of eight sessions of F.S.L phototherapy. 18% of total patient were cleared, 45.4% a marked improvement, 27.3% a mild improvement and 9.1% of patients had no effect. And the fungal exams, KOH direct smear and culture, were conversion to negative in 7 out of 11 patients. Significant adverse effects were not observed. Conclusion: F.S.L phototherapy might be another treatment option for the tinea pedis patients. | - |
