A rare Fusarium oxysporum fungal infection caused proximal leukonychia and paronychia in a man. Effective topical antifungal treatment was achieved, highlighting the importance of managing nail infections.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Mycology

Background:

  • Fungal onychomycoses are rare, often presenting as superficial leukonychia.
  • This case involves a 69-year-old man with proximal subungual leukonychia and paronychia of the great toe.

Observation:

  • Macroscopic examination and fungal culture identified Fusarium oxysporum as the causative agent.
  • The patient presented with proximal leukonychia and associated paronychia.

Findings:

  • Topical treatment with bifonazole and ciclopirox proved effective for the Fusarium infection.
  • The study highlights a rare case of Fusarium oxysporum causing proximal nail disease.

Implications:

  • Proximal onychomycosis with paronychia may indicate Fusarium infection.
