Experience in treating patients with microsporiasis

Since 1984, when treating patients with microsporia of smooth skin and scalp in the mycological hospital, we used the preparation K-2. Its composition: crystalline iodine (5.0), thymol (2.0), birch tar (10.0), fish oil (15.0), chloroform (45.0), camphor alcohol (40.0). K-2 was used to treat 70 patients, 58 of whom had microsporiasis of smooth skin (including 31 patients with downy hair) and 12 patients with microsporias of the scalp. There were 23 patients aged 3 to 6 years, 42 patients aged 7 to 14, 2 patients aged 15 to 17, and 3 patients older than 17.
