Furthermore, elevated levels of interferon (IFN)‐γ mRNA expression and IFN‐γ‐positive cells in tinea pedis lesions suggest that a T helper cell type 1 (Th1)‐driven allergic contact dermatitis is provoked in tinea pedis.6, 7 Therefore, we also compared the inhibitory potency of LCZ on Th1‐type contact hypersensitivity induced by 2,4,6‐trinitrophenyl chloride (PC) with that of other antifungal agents in mice. Here, IFNG is linked to tinea pedis.
