Abstract
Two topical antifungal agents (toinaftate and miconazole nitrate) and one topical corticosteroid antifungal (betamethasone with 3% chinoform) cream were evaluated in 58 patients of tinea cruris and tinea corporis to study their comparative clinical efficacy. Miconazole nitrate was found to be more efficaceous than toinaftate while betamethasone chinoform cream had no appreciable therapeutic effect on tinea cruris and tinea corporis.
