Examination and operations were made on 46 patients with bony panaritium. Early diagnosis of this disease along with X-ray examination were based on data of case histories of the patients and clinical symptoms. Surgical treatment included parsimonious dissection of necrotic tissues and suturing the
BACKGROUND
Involvement of the nail unit in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is thought to be rare.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the frequency of nail changes among patients with PV.
METHODS
Nail changes were recorded in patients with PV and were analysed retrospectively. Biopsies were taken from the nail bed and
Onychomycosis is considered a fungal nail infection caused mainly by dermatophytes, yeasts and non-dermatophyte molds including dematiaceous fungi. Onychomycosis caused by non-dermatophyte molds is a health problem in the medical environment as the patients frequently return to outpatient clinics
BACKGROUND
In this study, a case of toe keloid after nail extraction is presented, in which the keloids on both toes were resected by surgical excision. Keloids (from the Greek word meaning "crab's claw") are fibrous growths that extend beyond the original area of injury to involve the adjacent
Bacterial skin and skin structure infections commonly encountered in children include impetigo, folliculitis, furunculosis, carbuncles, wound infections, abscesses, cellulitis, erysipelas, scarlet fever, acute paronychia, and staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome. If diagnosed early and treated
Onychomycosis is the most common nail disorder in adults. Predisposing factors are immunosuppression, poor peripheral circulation, diabetes mellitus, increasing age, nail trauma, and tinea pedis. Autoimmune patients, who carry many of these predisposing factors, have never been studied. Autoimmune
Knowledge of the anatomy and function of the nail apparatus is essential when performing the physical examination. Inspection may reveal localized nail abnormalities that should be treated, or may provide clues to an underlying systemic disease that requires further workup. Excessive keratinaceous
Other nail diseases may mimic a fungal infection. Therefore the diagnosis of onychomycosis requires an assessment of both clinical and laboratory features. Onychomycosis is comprised of four distinct types, each of which requires a different technique to obtain a nail specimen. A potassium hydroxide
One hundred five Staphylococcus aureus infections occurring in 79 children who were seen in a private office practice were evaluated for response to antibiotic therapy. The value of in vitro disk susceptibility testing in directing antibiotic selection in treatment failures was also examined. Of the
BACKGROUND
The frequency and types of nail changes in pemphigus vulgaris (PV) are unclear. Aim To determine the frequency and types of nail changes, and their correlation with the number of skin and periungual bullae.
METHODS
Seventy-nine patients with PV, including 59 new patients and 20 patients
A total of 4,294 clinically suspected cases of dermatomycoses belonging to 26 different nationalities were examined between April 1984 and April 1988. Fungi were demonstrated in routine potassium hydroxide/dimethyl sulfoxide mount in 3,814 cases (88.8%) and the etiology was determined by culture in
