“…The other reason may be, this age group people are more social than other age groups, this results spreading of infection among them. This was in concordance with studies done by many workers [23,24] . The gender is also one of the factors influence frequency of distribution among population.…”

“…The prevalence of fungal nail infection in this study was 32.7%. This is higher than the 6.5% prevalence reported in Canada by Gupta et al [18] but lower than the 74.5% reported in India by Golia et al [19] This picture shows that the prevalence rates for different countries and regions are variable.…”

Objective: Worldwide, fungal nail infections have been on the increase, with social, cultural and economic factors contributing to it. Information on the spectrum of fungal nail infection is sparse in Nigeria. This study was carried out to establish the infection rates, aetiology and clinical types of onychomycosis in Calabar.Methods: Subjects were drawn from manicure and pedicure salons, farming settlements, mechanic workshops and dermatology clinic. A structured questionnaire was administered to participants for demographic data. Nail scrapings and clippings were obtained from subjects under standard aseptic procedure. Samples were pulverized and subjected to microscopy and culture. Standard mycological techniques were used to identify and characterize isolates. Results:Out of the 32.7% infection rates in the study, males 33.8%% were more infected than females 32.3% and subjects aged 41-50 years had the highest rate of infections. Candida species were more prevalent 63.6% than dermatophytic moulds 36.4%. Trichophyton rubrum was the most prevalent 18.2% dermatophyte. The distribution of pathogenic isolates on fingernails 45.5% and toenails 42.4% was statistically significant (χ2 =7.2, p= 0.03). Disto-lateral subungual onychomycosis (DLSO) 51(50.5%) was the most common type of nail lesion but most of the isolates 14(42.4%) were recovered from TDO. Conclusion: Onychomycosis affected more adults than adolescents of both sexes in our locality. Candida species are becoming prevalent aetiologic agents of these infections, and their importance should not be overlooked in the management of patients. J Microbiol Infect Dis 2016;6(1): [23][24][25][26][27] Fungal Tırnak Enfeksiyonları: Etken Ajanların Dağılımı ve Lezyonların Paternleri ÖZET Amaç: Fungal tırnak enfeksiyonları sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik faktörlerin katkısıyla dünyanın her yerinde artmaktadır. Nijerya'da fungal tırnak enfeksiyonlarının dağılımı ile ilgili bilgiler yetersizdir. Bu çalışma Kalabar'da onikomikozların enfeksiyon hızlarını, etiyolojilerini ve klinik tiplerini belirlemek için yapıldı.Yöntemler: Manikür ve pedikür salonlarında, tarım yerleşimlerinde, mekanik atölyelerde ve dermatoloji kliniklerinden örnekler toplandı. Katılımcılara doldurtulan yapılandırılmış bir anketle demografik veriler toplandı. Tırnak kazıntı ve parçaları standart aseptik prosedürle toplandı. Örnekler ezildi ve mikroskobi ve kültür için hazırlandı. İzolatların tanımlanmasında standart mikoloji teknikleri kullanıldı.Bulgular: Çalışmada enfeksiyon oranı %32.7 idi (erkeklerde %33.8, kadınlarda %32.3) ve bu oran 41-50 yaş arasındakilerde en yüksekti. Candida türleri %63,6 ile en sık etken idi ve onu %36,4 ile dermatofitik küfler takip ediyordu. Trichophyton rubrum en sık görülen dermatofit idi %18,2. El tırnaklarından izole edilen patojenik izolatlar %45.5 ve ayak tırnaklarından izole edilenler %42.4 idi (χ2=7,2, p=0,03). Disto-lateral subungual onikomikozis (DLSO) 51 hastada (%50,5) görüldü ve en sık görülen tırnak lezyon idi fakat en fazla izolat total distrofik onikomikoz (TDO...
