ABSTRACT
In an non-comparative study to assess the efficacy and safety of oral fluconazole in superficial fungal diseases of the skin; 82 adult Nigerian patients (58 males and 24 females) with clinical and mycological diagnosis of dermatomycoses were enrolled for the trial. Sixty-five patients completed the trial and each of them received a daily dose of 50mg fluconazole for a period of 4 weeks. An overall 90 per cent cure rate was observed in patients with other forms of dermatomycoses and 80 per cent for patients with pityriasis versicolor. The drug was well tolerated by all the patients and very few side effects were noticed
