Disease relevance of Onychomycosis

 

Psychiatry related information on Onychomycosis

  • CONCLUSION: In conclusion, treatment decision-making tools (e.g. an illustrated booklet or CD-ROM presenting each type of onychomycosis and criteria to be considered before selecting treatment regimen) would be valuable supports for the successful treatment of onychomycoses [6].

Biological context of Onychomycosis

 

Gene context of Onychomycosis

  • We aimed to establish the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and organisms causing onychomycosis in SLE patients compared with controls [19].
  • Polymerase chain reaction for diagnosis of dermatophyte and Scytalidium spp. onychomycosis [20].
  • METHODS: Nail specimens from 10 patients with onychomycosis due to T. rubrum were cultured and five colonies per culture plate were selected for molecular strain typing [21].
  • Samples were obtained when abnormal nails were found: distal and lateral subungual onychomycosis (DLSO), white superficial, proximal subungual (PSO), endonyx, and total dystrophic (TDO) [19].
  • A combination of alkali treatment and proteinase K digestion was used to solubilize nail samples from patients with onychomycosis treated orally with terbinafine [22].
