Subclinical Onychomycosis in Apparently Healthy Adults

Conclusion: We found 4 patients with yeasts, 3 with hyphae, and 1 patient with a combined infection with both yeasts and hyphae (3.1%). These add up to 25% of the clinically apparent healthy nails. Our results show that we still have much to learn from the initial stages of onychomycosis and that our population probably has higher incidence of this nail disease, so we must be alert to subtle nail changes. As our participants signed an informed consent, we will contact those that resulted positive for follow up consultations.Skin Appendage Disord
