La prise en charge des dermatophytoses d’origine anthropophile et conseils du pharmacien d’officine

Abstract

Dermatophytosis of anthropophilic origin are cosmopolitan superficial mycosis transmitted from human to human. They are caused by dermatophytes that affect the skin, nails and the hair. Pharmacists are mainly consulted by these patients in order to answer their questions and provide them with the necessary advice to ensure a complete cure. For this purpose, we conducted a survey in pharmacies with the aim of highlighting the role of the pharmacist and assessing the level of management of these conditions. This is an anonymous survey of 81 pharmacies in the districts of BBA and MILA. In this regard, we have prepared an inquiry form that we distributed to pharmacies and obtained a response rate of 85%. Our study revealed the importance of the role that pharmacists play, but also the lack of advice that they should provide at the pharmacy level. Therefore, we have thought about the development of a guide which will make it easier to improve the management of dermatophytosis in pharmacies and thus prevent relapses and limit further recurrences.
