The emergence of resistance among dermatophytes along with the availability of antifungal susceptibility procedures suitable for testing antifungal agents against this group of fungi make the combinatorial approach particularly interesting to be investigated. Therefore, we reviewed the scientific literature concerning the antifungal combinations against dermatophytes. A literature search on the subject performed in PubMed yielded 68 publications: 37 articles referring to in vitro studies and 31 articles referring to case reports or clinical studies. In vitro studies involved over 400 clinical isolates of dermatophytes (69% Trichophyton spp., 29% Microsporum spp., and 2% Epidermophyton floccosum). Combinations included two antifungal agents or an antifungal agent plus another chemical compound including plant extracts or essential oils, calcineurin inhibitors, peptides, disinfectant agents, and others. In general, drug combinations yielded variable results spanning from synergism to indifference. Antagonism was rarely seen. In over 700 patients with documented dermatophyte infections, an antifungal combination approach could be evaluated. The most frequent combination included a systemic antifungal agent administered orally (i.e., terbinafine, griseofulvin, or azole\u2014mainly itraconazole) plus a topical medication (i.e., azole, terbinafine, ciclopirox, amorolfine) for several weeks. Clinical results indicate that association of antifungal agents is effective, and it might be useful to accelerate the clinical and microbiological healing of a superficial infection. Antifungal combinations in dermatophytes have gained considerable scientific interest over the years and, in consideration of the interesting results available so far, it is desirable to continue the research in this field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jof7090727","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,6]],"date-time":"2021-09-06T13:15:56Z","timestamp":1630934156000},"page":"727","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":53,"title":["Antifungal Combinations in Dermatophytes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Lucia","family":"Brescini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze Biomediche e Sanit\u00e0 Pubblica, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica delle Marche, 60020 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simona","family":"Fioriti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze Biomediche e Sanit\u00e0 Pubblica, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica delle Marche, 60020 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0772-0214","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gianluca","family":"Morroni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze Biomediche e Sanit\u00e0 Pubblica, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica delle Marche, 60020 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Barchiesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze Biomediche e Sanit\u00e0 Pubblica, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica delle Marche, 60020 Ancona, Italy"},{"name":"Malattie Infettive, Azienda Ospedaliera Ospedali Riuniti Marche Nord, 61121 Pesaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"240","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.8.2.240","article-title":"The dermatophytes","volume":"8","author":"Weitzman","year":"1995","journal-title":"Clin.
