Onychomycosis caused by dematiaceous fungi: A four-year study on agricultural workers of Assam, India.

Background And Purpose: Onychomycosis caused by dematiaceous fungi is rarely reported and the identification is also quite tricky due to poor sporulation. Recent emergence of dematiaceous fungi as a major cause of onychomycosis is a matter of concern in the field of mycology. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the dematiaceous fungi as a possible cause of onychomycosis, especially among agricultural workers.

Lasiodiplodia theobromae onychomycosis among agricultural workers: A case series.

Lasiodiplodia theobromae is a dematiaceous non-dermatophyte mold (NDM), rarely reported to cause onychomycosis. Here, we report three cases of toenail onychomycosis caused by L. theobromae in agricultural workers.

Pestalotioid fungi: A rare agent of onychomycosis among agriculture workers.

Background And Purpose: Pestalotioid fungi are ubiquitous environmental molds that have received considerable attention in recent times not only because of their role as a plant pathogen but also owing to their high frequency of retrieval from human diseases. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to investigate onychomycosis caused by pestalotioid fungi, commonly considered important phytopathogens causing grey blight disease in .

Materials And Methods: A total of 122 agriculture workers were enrolled from Assam, India.

Onychomycosis Associated with Superficial Skin Infection Due to Aspergillus sydowii in an Immunocompromised Patient.

Opportunistic fungal infections of the skin and nail are frequently encountered in human. Recent years have shown increased incidence of fungal infections especially in immunocompromised patients. Onychomycosis in HIV-infected patients is reported to occur in 15-40%, four times more than in the general population.
