In the 1st group, patients received griseofulvin in combination with the Antral preparation. The daily dose was divided into three doses, the antral patients were taken in tablets depending on age: children 4—10 years old — 100 mg per reception, children over 10 years old — 200 mg 3 times a day.

Results and discussion. Due to the treatment, clinical and etiological recovery was achieved in all 100 patients with microsporia of the scalp. The duration of treatment ranged from 2 to 7 weeks. The duration of treatment in the 1st group ranged from 2 to 4 weeks, in the 2nd — from 5 to 7 weeks. Introduction to the complex treatment of systemic antimycotics of griseofulvin and 2 % sertaconazole nitrate cream Antral made it possible to increase the effectiveness and improve the results of treatment, reducing its duration to 2—4 weeks.
