description Summary The study was initiated in order to get knowledge of the frequency of onychomycosis in patients visiting general practitioners in Denmark. A study design was using a display showing photos of abnormal nails including fungal infection, a clinical examination and a questionnaire. The practitioners obtained nail material. Direct microscopy and culture as well as histopathology, were carried out blindly in two different mycological laboratories. A number of 8546 patients were seen during the 6 months of the study, 5755 (67.3%) took part in the investigation. Clinical abnormal nails were observed in 948 (16.5%) patients, 52% males and 48% females, aged 18–92, mean 55 years old. Onychomycosis caused by dermatophytes were found in 238 (4.1%) and by Candida albicans in 45 (0.8%). Trichosporon cutaneum and Scopulariopsis brevicaulis were isolated each in 15 cases as single cultures. Onychomycosis, was typically seen in toenails as the distal‐lateral type in males more than 40 years old. Predisposing factors were familiar dermatophytosis (22%), trauma (16.9%), diabetes mellitus (6.7%) and peripheral circulatory insufficiency (5.9%). Zusammenfassung Die Studie diente der Ermittlung der Onychomykose‐Häufigkeit bei Patienten, die dänische Allgemeinpraktiker aufsuchten. Das Studiendesign umfasste die Klassifizierung der abnormen Nägel nach einer photographischen Dokumentation, eine klinische Untersuchung und eine Fragebogenerhebung. Die Ärzte sandten Nagelmaterial zur Direktmikroskopie, zur Kultur und zur Histopatologie an zwei Laboratorien ein. Im Verlauf von 6 Monaten wurden 8546 Patienten untersucht, von denen 5755 (67,3%) in die Studie eingeschlossen wurden. Klinisch abnorme Nägel wurden bei 948 (16,5%) gesehen, davon waren 52% Männer und 48% Frauen im Alter von 18‐92 Jahren (Mittel 55 Jahre). Die Onychomykose wurde bei 238 Patienten (4.1%) durch Dermatophyten und bei 45 Patienten (0,8%) durch Candida albicans verursacht. Trichosporon cutaneum und Scopulariopsis brevicaulis wurden in je 15 Fällen isoliert. Die Onychomykose wurde typischerweise als distal‐lateraler Typ bei über 40 Jahre alten Männern gesehen. Prädisponierende Faktoren waren familiäre Dermatophytose (22%), Trauma (16,9%), Diabetes mellitus (6,7%) und periphere Kreislaufinsuffizienz. (5,9%).
