The prevalence of onychomycosis in HIV-positive individuals in the sample of 500 patients was 23.2%. In the Canadian (n=400) and Brazilian (n=100) samples, the corresponding figures were 24% and 20%, respectively, with the predominant causative organisms being dermatophytes. The projected prevalence of onychomycosis in HIV-positive Canadians is 19.9%. Predisposing factors include a CD4 count of approximately 370, a positive family history of onychomycosis, a history of tinea pedis, and walking barefoot around pools. Onychomycosis can be symptomatic, a source of embarrassment, and a potential cause of morbidity.

“…[3][4][5][6] It is now established that tinea pedis and onychomycosis are more frequent in HIVinfected patients, 7,8 who can present with uncommon proximal or superficial onychomycosis. 9,10 Another well-known ungual symptom is the presence of longitudinal melanonychia associated or not with treatment by zidovudine. [11][12][13][14][15] Rare cases of yellow nail syndrome were described in association with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).…”

“…In a report of patients from Canada and Brazil, WSO had prevalence of 3.3% and 5% and for PWSO of 1.5% and 3% respectively. The overall prevalence for onychomycosis in HIV infected patients was reported of 23.2% Cribier et al, 1998;Dompmartin et al, 1990;Gupta et al 2000;Noppakun & Head, 1986;Weismann et al 1988). Among patients living with HIV/AIDS, onychomycosis is the fourth most common dermatological manifestation, with an incidence of 10-44%, and an estimated prevalence 15-40%.…”
