Description
Majda El Abbassi and co-authors review five years of nail fungus cases at Morocco's National Institute of Hygiene in Rabat, in this 2023 study. Nail fungus is a common infection that discolors, thickens, and lifts nails. The team wanted the local picture: who gets it, what it looks like, which diseases travel with it, and which fungi cause it.
Records covered 1,606 patients seen from 2016 to 2020, and lab tests confirmed the infection in most samples. Cases clustered in the forty-one to sixty age band, and three quarters of patients were women. Diabetes was the most common companion disease. The usual pattern grew in from the nail's far edge. Yeasts led on fingernails, while a skin fungus called Trichophyton rubrum dominated toenails.
