“…O nychomycosis is a relatively common superficial fungal infection and may be present in approximately 6.5%-13% of the population. 1,2 The majority of the organisms that cause onychomycosis are dermatophytes, with Candida species being associated more frequently with onychomycosis of the fingers than the toes. In one series, nondermatophyte molds were associated with onychomycosis of the toes in approximately 8% of the cases.…”

In the present series itraconazole demonstrated efficacy against onychomycosis of the toenails caused by S. brevicaulis and Aspergillus species. A review of the literature confirms our experience with itraconazole and further suggests that terbinafine may also demonstrate efficacy against cases of S. brevicaulis and Aspergillus toe onychomycosis. Additionally, reports in the literature suggest that pedal onychomycosis caused by Fusarium species may also show response to itraconazole and terbinafine. For the other species, there are fewer data, making it difficult to draw conclusions.

Most infections are due to dermatophytes, specifically the Trichophyton rubrum and the Trichophyton mentagrophytes species, but nondermatophyte molds and yeasts are also recognized etiological agents [5].…”
