Overview

• The infection, known as TMVII, was identified in a man who traveled to England, Greece, and California.
• TMVII can be mistaken for eczema, delaying proper treatment and prolonging infection.
• Standard antifungal treatments like terbinafine show effectiveness, but another strain, T. indotineae, resists these therapies.
• Health officials emphasize the need for awareness among healthcare providers about these emerging fungal infections.
• Researchers are working to expand studies and track new cases of these drug-resistant fungi.
