Fungal infections represent a significant challenge in human medicine. With increasing resistance to conventional antifungal therapies and the recurrent nature of these infections, the need for more effective treatment options is critical.
One promising avenue of research involves selenium sulfide, a compound with well-established antifungal properties, which has been used historically in various antifungal formulations. Recent advancements in in vitro studies have revealed new insights into selenium sulfide's potential as an antifungal treatment, particularly for infections caused by Malassezia species.
Fungal infections, especially those caused by Malassezia species, particularly affect the human population.
