Summary Sixty‐nine children suffering from superficial fungal infections were treated with four pimari‐cin preparations: pimafucin vaginal tablets, pimafucin 1 % suspension, pimafucin, and pimafucort ointments. Complete cure was achieved in fifty‐three children (76.8%), improvement in twelve (17.3%). In four (5.7%) children with serious basic diseases (leukaemia, diabetes) the treatment was unsuccessful. No signs of intolerance were observed.
