From the demonstration of Aspergillus as the primary agent of onychomycosis, an increase in the incidence of this pathology worldwide has been reported, whose treatment is usually complicated. Various species of Aspergillus can cause nail infection but may respond differently to antifungal treatment, ...
Aspergillus ustusis amicrofunguswhich belongs to the divisionAscomycota. It is a common inhabitant of soil and is also found in indoor environments. It is known to cause nail infections inhumans. Phenylahistin is a fungal diketopiperazine alkaloid isolated fromAspergillus ustus(Kanoh et al., 1997...
It is known to cause nail infections in humans. Phenylahistin is a fungal diketopiperazine alkaloid isolated from Aspergillus ustus (Kanoh et al., 1997). (–)-phenylahistin exhibited antitumor activity against in vitro tumor cell lines A-549, A-431, K-562, HeLa, WiDr, MCF-7, and TE-...
Various species of Aspergillus can cause nail infection but may respond differently to antifungal treatment, so it is important to know their epidemiology, clinical characteristics, etiologic agents, diagnostic methods, and treatment.María Guadalupe Frías-De-León...
Aspergillus terreus is relatively undocumented as an agent of this fungal infection. The aim of this work is to show the prevalence of onychomycosis caused by A. terreus and to describe its clinical features. Nail samples were collected for microscopic examination and culturing in selective media. ...

There aremany overlaps betweennail fungus and nail cancer. Since it's easy to mistake cancer of the nail for a fungal infection, you should see a doctor immediately to get a definitive diagnosis. See a doctor immediately if you suspect you have toenail fungus or subungual melanoma. ...
Here, we report a case of fingernail proximal subungual onychomycosis with associated skin infection caused by an opportunistic mold, Aspergillus sydowii, in a HIV positive individual. Isolation of A. sydowii from nail and skin of an immunocompromised person needs accurate identification for successful ...
