Onychomycosis is caused most commonly by
Trichophyton rubrum or T. mentagrophytes. About
10% of all persons worldwide and 40% of those ≥60
years old are believed to have the disease. Risk
factors include older age, diabetes, poor peripheral
circulation, smoking, HIV infection, psoriasis, and
immunosuppression. Left untreated, onychomycosis
can cause nail plate destruction, ingrown nails, and
(particularly in patients with diabetes) secondary
infections. Guidelines on treatment of onychomycosis
have been published.
