OBJECTIVE
To study the epidemiology of foot diseases, including tinea pedis and onychomycosis in clinic attendees in Hong Kong.
METHODS
Two groups were included: the institutional group consisted of clinical evaluation and mycological investigations by dermatologists; and the private group consisted
BACKGROUND
we sought to determine the frequency of toenail onychomycosis in diabetic patients, to identify the causative agents, and to evaluate the epidemiologic risk factors.
METHODS
data regarding patients' diabetic characteristics were recorded by the attending internal medicine clinician.
BACKGROUND
Onychomycosis is a complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), which has a deleterious impact on the quality of life. Aim To explore the prevalence of onychomycosis amongst Taiwanese diabetics, and to analyze the factors associated with onychomycosis after adjusting for age and sex.

Obesity is a worldwide major public health problem with an alarmingly increasing prevalence over the past 2 decades. The consequences of obesity in the skin are underestimated. In this paper, we review the effect of obesity on the skin, including how increased body mass index affects skin
Onychomycosis is a common medical condition in patients with diabetes. Conflicting data exist as to whether diabetes predisposes patients to the disease. Controversy notwithstanding, patients with diabetes have several medical conditions (obesity, peripheral neuropathy, and retinopathy) that can
A number of comorbidities and risk factors complicate the successful management of onychomycosis. Underlying conditions and patient characteristics, such as tinea pedis, age, and obesity, contribute to risk, whereas comorbidities, such as diabetes and psoriasis, can increase susceptibility to the
Onychomycosis accounts for 50% of all nail disease cases and is commonly caused by dermatophytes. Diabetes, human immunodeficiency virus, immunosuppression, obesity, smoking, and advancing age are predisposing factors of this fungal infection. Potassium hydroxide and culture are considered the
Treatment of psoriatic nail disease is challenging, and dystrophic psoriatic nails can get secondarily infected with fungi.This 2-year, matched case-control study was conducted at three tertiary care centers of Karachi, Pakistan. Data were collected from A prospective epidemiologic survey on the prevalence of foot disease in Hong Kong found foot disease in 64% of patients screened. All of the patients were ethnically Chinese. Of the conditions specified in the questionnaire, fungal foot infection, tinea pedis, and toenail onychomycosis were the most
The importance of mycotic infections of the skin and its adnexa has a rising trend. The causal agents are not only dermatophytes and candidae but to an increasing extent opportune fungal microorganisms. Most frequently these diseases develop during intense immunosuppressive treatment, e.g. in
OBJECTIVE
The prevalence of mycotic infection seems to be higher among diabetic patients than in the non-diabetic population. The aims of this study were to determine the frequency of mycosis and to compare clinical and fungal results.
METHODS
This transversal study included 307 type 1 and 2
