Cutaneous fungal infections are common and cause distress to patients. Conventional treatments have issues with drug resistance, and there is a need for safer and more effective alternatives. Recent studies have shown the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy in treating fungal infections without severe adverse effects.
Cutaneous fungal infections are common in humans and are associated with significant physical and psychological distress to patients. Although conventional topical and/or oral anti-fungal medications are commonly recommended treatments, drug resistance has emerged as a significant concern in this patient population, and safer, more efficacious, and cost-effective alternatives are warranted. Recent studies have reported effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) against fungal infections without severe adverse effects. In this review, we briefly discuss the mechanisms underlying PDT, current progress, adverse effects, and limitations of this treatment in the management of superficial and deep fungal infections.
