Abstract

Purpose of Review

The purpose of this study is to recognize and expand the knowledge of mycotic paronychia as a variable clinical condition due to various predisposing factors and multiple fungal organisms.

Recent Findings

Candida-associated mycotic paronychia is common but other non-dermatophyte molds, such as Fusarium, are identified as potential agents of paronychia and onychomycosis.

Summary

Mycotic paronychia is characterized by inflammation of the proximal or lateral nail folds caused by certain fungi. Mycological analysis is necessary to identify the causal agent and prescribe an appropriate treatment. Further studies are needed to know the involved microorganisms in the disease and the pathogenicity factors involved in this localized area of the nail apparatus.
