Onychomycosis is a common nail disorder. Far more than being a simple cosmetic problem, infected nail serves as a chronic reservoir, which can give rise to repeated mycotic infections. The study was undertaken to determine the various clinical patterns of onychomycosis. This prospective cross sectional study was conducted in clinically suspected patients of onychomycosis attending out patients ...
Onychomycosis is a relatively common dermatologic presentation (Table 1). The incidence of the disease varies regionally and with age. Although in most cases the condition poses no significant long-term health risk, treatment is indicated. Affected nails can be cosmetically unsightly and may become painful and cause functional impairment. In some cases, such as among diabetic patients, treatmen...
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of nails caused by dermatophytes, yeasts or nondermatophyte molds and represents about 30% of mycotic cutaneous infections. Increasingly onychomycosis is being viewed as more than a mere cosmetic problem. In spite of improved personal hygiene and living environment, onychomycosis continues to spread and persist. The prevalence rate of onychomycosis is determi...
BACKGROUND Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of one or more units of the nail caused by dermatophytes, or mould and nondermatophytes yeast. Investigations are needed to establish the diagnosis of onychomycosis before starting treatment. Several investigations methods for diagnosing onychomycosis are microscopic examination with 20% KOH, fungal culture, histopathology examination with PAS stai...
BACKGROUND Onychomycosis has a high prevalance among immunocompromised patients such as diabetics and hemodialysis patients. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of onychomycosis among hemodialysis patients with and without diabetes mellitus, and to find out the factors likely to be associated with the development of onychomycosis among hemodialysis patients. METHODS O...
The aim of the study was to examine the relative prevalence of dermatophytic, yeast and non-dermatophytic mould onychomycosis among diabetic patients, and to compare it with nondiabetic patients. The study included 460 consecutive diabetic patients and the same number of nondiabetic age-matched subjects attending dermatology clinics at Farwaniya Hospital, Kuwait, over a period of 4 years. All p...
White superficial onychomycosis is less common than distal subungual onychomycosis and occurs when certain fungi invade the superficial layers of the nail plate directly. Later, the infection may move through the nail plate to infect the cornified layer of the nail bed and hyponychium. It can be recognized by the presence of welldelineated opaque “white islands” on the external nail plate, whic...
Objective: Onychomycosis is a diagnosis of fungal organisms in the nail unit. It frequently occurs in both the immunocompetent and immunocompromised patient. A variant of onychomycosis is proxiaml onychomycosis that occurs on the most proximal aspect of the nail. Proximal onychomycosis is known to be commonly associated with immunocompromised status. Study Design: A case report of a veteran who...
Onychomycosis is a common progressive fungal infection of the nail bed, matrix, or plate leading to destruction and deformity of the toenails and fingernails. The prevalence of onychomycosis is increasing in the United States, particularly in the growing population of Latino patients. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of efinaconazole solution 10% in Latino patients with onych...
Nail dermoscopy is helpful in the differential diagnosis of nail disorders including onychomycosis and pigmented and nonpigmented nail tumors. We report two cases of onychomatricoma with concurrent onychomycosis of the same digit. In both cases, dermoscopy of the nail plate exhibited features of onychomatricoma, whereas dermoscopy of the distal free edge revealed features of onychomycosis. It i...
