Fluconazole As a Prophylactic Measure for Tinea Gladiatorum in High School Wrestlers
Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine, 09/11/09

Brickman K et al. – The twice–per–season regimen of 100 mg daily for 3 days was highly effective in dramatically reducing the incidence of these skin lesions. The success of this study is 2–fold: First, fluconazole provided prophylaxis. Second, the overall incidence of fungal disease throughout the entire wrestling team was markedly decreased because most of the wrestlers participated in this study, significantly reducing exposure to these lesions through wrestling practice. No adverse effects in the use of fluconazole over this 10–year study period were reported.
