AIM: Compare itraconazole alone, fluconazole combined with ketoconazole and ketoconazole in the treatment of patients with pityriasis versicolor.

Clinical (colour of macule, scale, pruritus) and mycological assessment were done after 4 weeks of therapy.
RESULTS: After 4 weeks of treatment, clinical cure was observed in 62.4% (Category I), 36.3% (Category II) and 37.5% (Category III).
