Abstract
Onychomycosis is a common condition constituting fungal infection of nails. It is generally caused by dermatophytes but non-dermatophytic mold and yeast as its causative agent are on the rise. Acremonium, a non-dermatophytic mold, is commonly found in decaying vegetation, soil, and air. Identification of the causative agent is important as non-dermatophytic molds are resistant to commonly used antifungals. This is a case of an Indian woman who presented with onychomycosis of the toenail and the causative agent was documented and reported as Acremonium species.
