Therapeutic Challenges in Case of <i>Trichophyton indotineae</i> Dermatophytosis, Singapore, 2025
Trichophyton indotineae is an emerging dermatophyte frequently associated with terbinafine resistance. We report a case of recalcitrant T. indotineae infection in Singapore with limited response despite prolonged azole therapy, which only resolved after combination therapy with anidulafungin and itraconazole. This case highlights therapeutic challenges and need for improved diagnostics in T. indotineae infections.
