متن کاملOnychomycosis Due to Nondermatophytic Molds
BACKGROUND Although there have been many studies about onychomycosis due to nondermatophytic molds (NDM), few studies about etiologic agents including NDM in onychomycosis have been reported in Korea. OBJECTIVE This study investigated onychomycosis due to NDM in the Gyeongju area of Korea. METHODS In the 10-year period from 1999~2009, we reviewed 59 patients with onychomycosis due to NDM. T...
متن کاملOnychomycosis due to Emericella quadrilineata.
