[Correspondence] Emergence of recalcitrant dermatophytosis in India

Donald Cole and colleagues' Series1 on fungal infections was a knowledgeable read. In this context, as dermatologists, we want to highlight the emerging threat of extensive and difficult-to-treat dermatophytosis. Although dermatophytosis has always been among the commonest infections of the skin, the substantial change in the clinical profile of patients with an increase in the number of chronic, recurrent, or recalcitrant dermatophytosis in India is alarming, and the paucity of evidence is disheartening.
