Dr. Vp Jerath, Dr. Megha Sood
Abstract :
Fish spas originated in Turkey and are used for their cosmetic treatment. In these spas clients submerge their feet, hands or their whole body in basins with Garrarufa fish. The most important health risk from fish spas is the possible transmission of infections. These infections can be bacterial, viral or fungal in origin. We report a case of 63 year old,educated, well informed female who received foot treatment in a fish spa. Ten days after the foot spa she developed acute erythema of the left foot. The patient was treated withgriseofulvin and terbinafine for 4 weeks.The patient recovered after a therapy of four weeks.
