Limitations: The study excluded patients with comorbidities such as diabetes. As this is
a common disease state, the extrapolation of study data to many populations is limited.
Patient demographics, while presented, were not assessed for statistical differences.
Drastic differences in age between males and females in group A and C were noted
(45 vs. 29 and 51 vs. 21, respectively) making baseline characteristics questionable.
Most information on efficacies, including dose-dependent relationships, is presented as
graphs without specific numbers or p-values to support claims of efficacy made in the
text. No power is stated in this study making it impossible to determine if type 2 error is
likely. The graphs referenced in the text are incorrect (e.g. Figure 1(b) is not
mycological response rate as referenced in the text). Safety and adverse effects were not
statistically analyzed. Compliance was an issue in the article resulting in no significant
improvement; however, there was no mention of how this was assessed. Lab values were
collected at each visit but receive no mention in reporting of safety or efficacy.
