spp. are the common onychomycosis pathogens in non-dermatophyte molds, and are considered resistant to many antifungal agents. We reported onychomycosis of the fingernail caused by in Vietnam. The minimum inhibitory concentration of terbinafine against the tested isolate was 1μg/ml, which was the lowest of all antimycotic agents. The patient was successfully treated with a daily dose of 250mg terbinafine for two months, and no recurrence occurred after a one-year follow-up. Antifungal susceptibility testing is recommended in onychomycosis.

Background: Post-traumatic Fusarium infection is rare. Arterial occlusive disease, a common vascular disorder in the elderly, often leads to ischemic necrosis of the lower extremities, which in turn increases the likelihood of secondary infections. Those secondary infections can be caused by bacteria, virus, or fungi.

A 58-year-old female smoker diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) presented with Raynaud's phenomenon and a "scleroderma-like" pattern on nailfold capillaroscopy. The capillaroscopic abnormalities were observed across all fingers, including those without clinical manifestations of onychomycosis. Over a two-year follow-up, there was no evidence of clinical or serological progression toward a connective tissue disease, particularly systemic sclerosis.

We report a case of a 75-year-old male with suspected onychomycosis of the right hand and both feet who also developed kerion-like changes in the skin of his head and neck after recent inguinal hernia surgery. A mycological examination revealed the presence of in all affected sites. Treatment with oral terbinafine and topical isoconazole nitrate was started, resulting in a significant improvement in skin lesions.

We report a case of onychomycosis due to Fusarium solani with gray-green staining, which improved after nail plate removal and antifungal liquid of effinaconazole. Fungal cultures revealed light-brown and dark-green colonies. Gray-green nail might have occurred due to the combination of these colonies, which necessitated differentiation from green nail.
