Abstract
|
|
|
|
Patients presenting with green nail syndrome often show coinfection with fungus. A delay in the accurate diagnosis of coinfection may warrant longer treatment duration. Four patients with green nail syndrome coinfected with fungus were reviewed retrospectively. Fungal culture, cultivating Candida parapsilosis and Candida albicans, was performed in two patients' samples. The mean time of the initiation of treatment for onychomycosis after the first visit was 5.75 weeks. If green nail syndrome is suspected, screening for fungal coinfections and precise management are necessary.
