WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS OF FUNGAL NAIL INFECTION?

If your nails are discoloured, uneven, have yellow streaks, uneven texture and thickening, they begin to separate from the base of the nail, become brittle and rough, these may be signs of nail fungus. However, in order to confirm the diagnosis, a diagnosis of a fungal infection of the nail must be made.

The fungal nail infection risk increases with age. Athletes and people who use swimming pools, saunas or other public places where barefoot walking is necessary are also at risk. People with diabetes or immunosuppression are also at higher risk of developing a fungal infection of the nails.

DIAGNOSTICS OF THE FUNGAL NAIL INFECTION

Nail fungus can be caused by one of three groups of fungi: dermatophytes, yeasts (Candida) or moulds (Aspergillus, Scytalidium, Scopulariopsis).

To determine whether you have a fungal infection or whether the nail changes are due to other causes, it is necessary to have a nail examination:
• microscopic examination of nail scraping, or
• examination of bacteriological nail scrapings by performing inoculation.

For laboratory analysis, a sample is taken from the free surface of the nail, from the thickened area under the nail and, if necessary, from the surrounding skin. This procedure is completely painless.

Before treating nail fungus with laser therapy, the doctor must verify that the patient indeed has a fungal nail infection. It is therefore advisable to have the diagnostic results when making an appointment. If laboratory tests have not yet been performed, the doctor will make a referral for a diagnosis of nail fungus.
