The first report of onychomycosis caused by Cryptococcus friedmannii ( Naganishia friedmannii ) a basidiomycetous yeast

Yeasts are common etiologic agents of onychomycosis. This study reported a case of onychomycosis due to ( ). This yeast was isolated of the right great toenail of 57-year-old man. Microscopic examination of nail scrapings showed budding cells with thin capsule. Sequence analyzes of the internal tran...

Zusammenfassung:Yeasts are common etiologic agents of onychomycosis. This study reported a case of onychomycosis due to ( ). This yeast was isolated of the right great toenail of 57-year-old man. Microscopic examination of nail scrapings showed budding cells with thin capsule. Sequence analyzes of the internal transcribed spacer regions was closely related to . The results of susceptibility testing showed the to be sensitive to fluconazole, itraconazole and amphotericin B.
