UNASSIGNED: This retrospective study aimed at evaluating the epidemiology of onychomycosis in adult patients in South Greece during the 2015-2017 period.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 3,226 patients with clinical signs of possible onychomycosis were included. Diagnosis was confirmed by microscopy with KOH 20% and by culture in Sabouraud agar with and without actidione.
UNASSIGNED: Diagnosis of onychomycosis was confirmed in 27.99% of the patients. Men were infected more often (40.04%) than women (23.30%). Toenails (68.77%) were infected more than fingernails (31.23%) in both sexes. Onychomycosis in fingernails was more common among women (39.74%) than men (18.51%). Men were more often diagnosed with onychomycosis in toenails (81.49%) than women (60.26%). Dermatophytes were the most frequently isolated fungi (34.11%), followed by Candida(29.79%) and non-dermatophyte molds (NDM) (7.20%). In fingernails, the most frequently isolated fungus was Candida spp. (84.04%), followed by dermatophytes (3.55%) and NDM (0.71%). In toenails, dermatophytes (47.99%) were more commonly identified, followed by NDM (10.14%) and Candida spp. (5.15%).
UNASSIGNED: Onychomycosis in Greece follows a pattern of higher incidence in males, with toenails more frequently infected with T. rubrum and fingernails more frequently infected with C. albicans in the present era.
■这项回顾性研究旨在评估2015-2017年期间希腊南部成年患者甲癣的流行病学。
■共纳入3,226例有可能的甲癣临床体征的患者。通过用20%的KOH进行显微镜检查并在有和没有actidione的Sabouraud琼脂中培养来确认诊断。
■27.99%的患者确诊为甲癣。男性感染的频率(40.04%)高于女性(23.30%)。在两种性别中,脚趾甲(68.77%)的感染率高于指甲(31.23%)。指甲中的甲癣在女性中(39.74%)比男性(18.51%)更常见。男性(81.49%)比女性(60.26%)更常被诊断为脚趾甲甲癣。皮肤癣菌是最常见的真菌(34.11%),其次是念珠菌(29.79%)和非皮肤癣菌(NDM)(7.20%)。在指甲里,最常见的真菌是念珠菌。(84.04%),其次是皮肤癣菌(3.55%)和NDM(0.71%)。脚趾甲,皮肤癣菌(47.99%)更常见,其次是NDM(10.14%)和念珠菌。(5.15%)。
■希腊的甲癣在男性中发病率较高,在当今时代,脚趾甲更频繁地感染红色丝虫,手指甲更频繁地感染白色念珠菌。
