A Case Study of Onychomycosis Caused by Aspergillus Fumigatus

Abstract

Onychomycosis is known as a nail fungal infection brought on by dermatophytes, yeast, and non-dermatophyte mold. According to epidemiological investigations, Aspergillus fumigatus has been identified as an egregious fungal cause of toenail onychomycosis. Here, we present a case of A. fumigatus-related multiple toenail infections in a 47-year-old woman in good health. The causing agent was determined to be A. fumigatus based on the culture's macroscopic and microscopic features. Keywords: Aspergillus fumigatus, toenail & Onychomycosis
