Fungal Infection of Nails

Fungal infection of the nails has been classified into four types :

1. White superficial onychomycosis presents with diffuse or speckled white discoloration of the surface of the toenails. It is caused primarily by Trichophyton mentagrophytes, which invades the nail plate. The organism may be scraped off the nail plate with a blade, but treatment is best accomplished by the addition of a topical azole antifungal agent.


2. Distal subungual onychomycosis presents with foci of onycholysis under the distal nail plate or along the lateral nail groove, followed by development of hyperkeratosis and yellow-brown discoloration. The process extends proximally, resulting in nail plate thicken and separation from the nail bed. Trichophyton rubrum and, occasionally, T. mentagrophytes infect the toenails; fingernail disease is almost exclusively due to T. rubrum, which may be associated with superficial scaling of the plantar surface of the feet and often of one hand. These dermatophytes are found most readily at the most proximal area of the nail bed or adjacent ventral portion of the nail plates that are involved. Topical therapies such as ciclopirox 8% lacquer may be effective for solitary nail infection. Because of their long half-life in the nail, terbinafine or itraconazole may be effective when given as pulse therapy (1 wk of each mo for 3–4 mo). Either agent is superior to griseofulvin, fluconazole, orketoconazole. The risks, the most concerning of which is hepatic toxicity, and costs of oral therapy must be weighed carefully against the benefits of treatment for a condition that generally causes only cosmetic problems.


3. Proximal white subungual onychomycosis occurs when the organism, generally T. rubrum, enters the nail through the proximal nail fold, producing yellow-white portions of the under surface of the nail plate. The surface of the nail is unaffected. This occurs almost exclusively in immunocompromised patients and is a well-recognized manifestation of AIDS.


4. Candidal onychomycosis
involves the entire nail plate in patients with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. It is also commonly seen in patients with AIDS. The organism, generally Candida albicans, enters distally or along the lateral nail folds, rapidly involves the entire thickness of the nail plate, and produces thickening, crumbling, and deformity of the plate. Topical azole antifungal agents may be sufficient for treatment of candidal onychomycosis in an immunocompetent host, but oral antifungal agents are necessary for treatment of those with immune deficiencies.

    1. Traditional herbs are natural medicinal Plants and Roots that we can use to cure ourselves and it also cure drug resistance diseases naturally without after effect.
      Currently according to research and people's testimonies, many modern herbs in today's market are also very effective cure.
      Sadly not all these modern herbs are natural and may contain heavy elements which the kidney finds difficult to filter and excrete.
      A very observant friend of mine recommended Dr Utu to me when he perceived my depression and suicidal thoughts which resulted from my continuous oral herpes outbreak.
      I contacted the doctor and he cured me from herpes completely, without after effect six years ago and have remained my doctor till date.
      I have also recommended him to people and they all testified.
      If you want traditional Natural Medicines without after effect, I strongly recommend Dr Utu.

It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work.
