FIRST CASE REPORT OF WHITE SUPERFICIAL ONYCHOMYCOSIS DUE TO FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM IN IRAN

Abstract
This paper presents for the first time the isolation of Fusarium
oxysporum from the toenails of a man from Tehran. The fungus was
demonstrated in KOH mounts and was isolated repeatedly from his nail
scrapings over a 2 month period. Published reviews on onychomycosis in Iran
have not revealed any cases of white superficial onychomycosis due to
Fusarium oxysporum to date
