Article Synopsis
- - Onychomycosis is a tough fungal nail infection that can lead to further complications, prompting the need for accurate pathogen identification through testing to enhance treatment effectiveness.
- - A study analyzing over 710,000 patient records from 2015-2024 utilized PCR testing, revealing a wider range of pathogens than previously known, particularly showing that non-dermatophyte molds and yeasts are significant in female patients and older adults.
- - The use of advanced molecular diagnostics allows for quicker and more precise identification of the fungi causing onychomycosis, which can lead to better treatment choices and improved healthcare outcomes.

Onychomycosis is an under-recognized healthcare burden. Despite the risk of misdiagnosis, confirmatory laboratory testing is under-utilized. Histopathologic examination with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is currently the most effective diagnostic method; it offers direct detection and identification of a fungal invasion.
