Abundant hyphae with the formation of arthrospores were found on the nail's surface, forming small fungal colonies. T...

BACKGROUND The escalating ageing population in the western world has led to an increased incidence of superficial fungal infections. The most common infections include onychomycosis, tinea pedis and tinea cruris.
