Abstract
Superficial fungal infections (SFIs) are characterized by diverse etiologies, complex pathogenesis, and marked geographical differences in patient symptoms. Conventional management of SFIs is associated with complications such as hepatotoxicity, skin problems, severe headaches, and clinical difficulties including intractable relapses and drug-drug interactions in patients with chronic diseases remain to be addressed. Moreover, in topical treatment, low penetration of antifungal drugs in hard tissues such as finger (toe) nails and drug-resistant fungi are emerging concerns in current antifungal therapy. Nanotechnology has been a leading research topic in recent years for new dosing forms of antifungal drugs, chemical modification of traditional drugs, and pharmacokinetic improvement, providing potential opportunities for the effective treatment of SFIs. The present study reviewed the direct use of nanoparticles in SFIs and the use of nanoparticles as carriers in SFIs and discussed their future medicinal applications.https://www.europeanreview.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/01-12915-PM-29863.jpg.
