Abstract

This article presents an analysis of publications on strains resistant to antifungal drugs and describes a clinical case of a 57-year-old patient suffering from distributed glabrous skin mycosis with foot nail lesions  resistant to antifungal therapy. The clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment of the fungal disease is described. Against the background of antifungal treatment, the clinical and mycological cure of the trunk skin and foot nail mycosis was achieved.
