Abstract:
The diagnosis of onychomycosis requires an assessment of both clinical and laboratory features. The laboratory diagnosis is essential to confirm the fungal origin of the onyxis. Various types of onychomycosis need different methods to obtain a nail specimen. It requires a direct examination to confirm the presence of fungi, and a fungal culture to identify the specific genus and species of the pathogen. A good interpretation of these results is necessary to adapt the therapeutics.
