| Anti-Candida Effects of Oregano Oil |
| Study shows that the chemicals found in Oregano Oil show specific anti-fungal activity |

| Topical Treatment for Fungus Infections |
| Nail infections are difficult to cure with topical therapies because the infections usually occur under the nail instead of on top of it and products penetrate poorly, if at all, through the nail plate. Infections of hair follicles, nails, and widespread infections often require systemic treatments.... |
|
| Blood tests for fungal infections |
| Blood cultures are done to detect and identify bacteria and yeasts (a type of fungus) in the blood. Typically, blood is usually drawn into two types of containers each used to detect different types of bacteria and or fungus. If your blood culture is positive, the specific bacteria or fungus causin... |

| Histopathological Diagnosis of Onychomycosis |
| The current laboratory methods for diagnosing fungal infections of the nails are the potassium hydroxide (KOH) scraping technique and fungal culture. However, due to the long incubation period required for fungal culture and the reported rate of approximately 30% false negative results observed when... |
|
| Toenail fungus frequency with venous insufficiency |
| OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of nail pathology and onychomycosis in patients with Chronic Venous Insufficiency. BACKGROUND: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) can originate onychopathy per se. We have anecdotally observed nail changes in patients with CVI, but the... |

| Clinical characteristics and mycology of onychomycosis in autoim |
| Onychomycosis is the most common nail disorder in adults. Predisposing factors are immunosuppression, poor peripheral circulation, diabetes mellitus, increasing age, nail trauma, and tinea pedis. Autoimmune patients, who carry many of these predisposing factors, have never been studied. Autoimmune p... |
|
| Clinical diagnostic aid for toenail disease |
| The ideal method for diagnosing onychomycosis is unclear. Mycological investigation is currently the method of choice, although there is a false-negative culture rate of at least 30%. |
|
| In-office diagnostic procedure to detect dermatophytes |
| PURPOSE: To evaluate in-office dermatophyte test medium (DTM) culture as an alternative to traditional laboratory fungal culture for confirming a diagnosis of onychomycosis, and to determine the prevalence of dermatophytes as a cause of onychomycosis in patients not participating in a clinical trial... |

| Epidemiological study on tinea pedis and onychomycosis |
| OBJECTIVE: To study the epidemiology of foot diseases, including tinea pedis and onychomycosis in clinic attendees in Hong Kong. |
| North American study of fungal isolates from nails |
| Onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nail bed, is responsible for up to 50% of nail disorders. Although several surveys have been conducted in different parts of the world, there have been no multicenter epidemiologic surveys of onychomycosis in... |

| Prevalence and patient's consciousness of tinea pedis and onycho |
| Epidemiological studies on tinea pedis and onychomycosis have been performed across Europe and East Asia. The prevalence of these conditions was 20%, respectively, and it increased with advancing age, more men than women had fungal infection of the feet. The prevalent predisposing factors were... |
|
| Microscopic diagnosis of onychomycosis |
| INTRODUCTION. The microbiological identification of onychomycosis may be uncertain as some fungi growing in culture from this material are not necessarily pathogen and invasive. Conversely, the negativity of a culture is not rare even when fungi are seen by microscopy. |
|
| Epidemiologic characteristics of onychomycosis |
| INTRODUCTION: The term onychomycosis is used for fungal infections of the nail unit. Tinea unguium is defined as a dermatophyte nail infection. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiological characteristics of onychomycoses... |

| Clinical mycological study of onychomycosis in elderly |
| Physical examination of nails was carried out in 210 elderly patients and nail scrapings were obtained from onychomycosis suggested lesions in order to determine their causative agents, incidence and clinical characteristics. Diagnostic was confirmed by the isolation of the agents from 74 patients, ... |
