Abstract

Onychomycosis is a nail infection caused by fungi, which may behave as primary pathogens 
invading the healthy nail plaque or develop secondarily to a preexisting nail disease. The 
primary concerns of the patients are the risk of spread to other nails or to people in their 
environment. In addition to these social and emotional problems, onychomycosis is a serious 
medical problem that can be the source of further fungal infections to surrounding tissues.
