Total Dystrophic Onychomycosis Due to Syncephalastrum racemosum - A Rare Cause and its Novel Treatment Option.
Indian Dermatology Online Journal 2019 March
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nail caused by dermatophytic (99%) and/or non-dermatophytic (1%) (including yeasts) infections of the nailplate. Among the non-dermatophytes, the yeast Candida albicans , Candida tropicalis , and other molds like Scopulariopsis spp., Scytalidium spp., Fusarium spp., and Aspergillus spp. may be responsible. Herein, we report a case of total dystrophic onychomycosis in a 41-year-old female, caused by Syncephalastrum racemosum and its complete improvement with a combination of oral pulse itraconazole and 1064 nm Q-switched Nd-YAG laser. This case is being reported due to the rarity of causative organism for onychomycosis and a novel approach in its treatment.
