Nail fungus

Nails are usually affected with fungus after some other areas of tissues or skin are affected. That is why if a person has a skin fungus infection, contamination of nails should be soon expected.
In patients with epidermophytosis the fungus infection will manifest on toe-nails, with rubromycosis-on both foot and hand nails, with chronic trichophytosis or favus-predominantly on hand nails. Only microsporia causes nail contamination very rarely.
