摘要: From a total of 20 004 patients seen during two years, we carried out mycologic nail investigation (direct microscopy and repeated cultures). Ninety-three (43.2%) the nails were judged to be infected by their clinical appearance. They fulfilled laboratory criteria required start antifungal treatment (isolation same fungus in culture on consecutive occasions), but only 64 cases (29.7%) was there mycological recovery once follow up completed.
