Abstract
A total of 120 patients of dermatophytoses were divided into two groups. One was treated with ketoconazole and other with griseofulvin for 4 weeks.

No significant adverse effect (s) were noticed in either group(s). Clinical response to ketoconazole was 13.3 percent better, however cost efficacy ratio vis a vis griseofulvin was 6:1.
