Terbinafine and itraconazole are each approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for 3 months of daily dosing to treat toenail onychomycosis due to dermatophytes. (17,18) An intermittent approach is also used (Table 2), (19) with booster therapy as needed at 6, 9, and 12 months.

Despite the fact that the culture media without cycloheximide have somewhat lost their appeal due to the inability of certain dermatophytes to sporulate, our experience suggests that they can be useful not exclusively for primary sterile samples.
