Abstract

The AIM of the present study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of fluconazole (FungoIon) in patients with seborrheic blepharitis.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

Four seborrheic blepharitis patients with Malassezia spp. positive cultures on Dixon's agar were treated with fluconazole (Fungolon) (0.200) weekly for 4 weeks.

RESULTS

The therapeutic effect of the treatment was positive in all patients--the clinical symptoms withdrew and cultures became mycologically negative.

CONCLUSION

The results indicate that antifungal agents are efficient in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.
