BACKGROUND: Fusarium spp. are common organisms causing onychomycosis. Research on the clinical presentations and treatment of this condition is limited.
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the demographic data, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcomes of Fusarium onychomycosis.
METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand. Patients with onychomycosis, at least 2 repeated positive mycological cultures for Fusarium spp., and a photo at diagnosis (January 2014-December 2019) were included. Demographic data and clinical characteristics of Fusarium onychomycosis were analyzed and compared with those of Neoscytalidium onychomycosis, the other common nondermatophytes onychomycosis in tropical countries.
RESULTS: Seventeen patients with twenty-four nails were analyzed. Fusarium onychomycosis was significantly related to a history of pedicure (p = 0.04). Predominant lateral involvements of subungual hyperkeratosis onychomycosis, but without concurrent foot infections, were significantly found in Fusarium onychomycosis (p < 0.001 for each). Among the treatments, urea was 80% effective. Topical amphotericin B was 75% effective. Both amorolfine 5% nail lacquer and long-pulsed 1064-nm neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser were 66.7% effective. Lastly a combination of long-pulsed 1064-nm neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser and amorolfine 5% nail lacquer was 50% effective.
CONCLUSIONS: Important predisposing factors and clinical manifestations of Fusarium onychomycosis were a history of pedicure and predominant lateral-nail involvement, but no concomitant fungal foot infections. Topical treatment (urea cream, amphotericin B, or amorolfine nail lacquer) showed excellent outcomes.
