description Trichophyton indotineae, a new species of dermatophytes, has become a significant concern in treating dermatophytosis due to the high level of terbinafine resistance reported in this organism. This is the first report of Trichophyton indotineae infection in Central Vietnam. Antifungal susceptibility testing showed that this isolate was susceptible to itraconazole, voriconazole, and terbinafine. Therefore, the patient was successfully treated with oral itraconazole and ketoconazole topical cream.
