Abstract

Objective To isolate the causative pathogens on onychomycosis in Qingdao area. Methods Fungal culture and clinical analysis were performed on 613 cases of onychomycosis with positive direct microscopic examination. Results DLSO (53. 67%) were the most frequently clinical types,followed by TDO (24.80%) ,PSO (14.19%) and SWO (7.34%). Four hundred and eighty-one strains of pathogenic fungi were isolated,The most frequently isolated fungus was dermatophytes (80.25%) ,followed by yeasts(15.59%) and saprophyticmolds(4.16%). Conclusion The most frequent pathogenic fungus of onychomycosis in Qingdao area were dermatophytes,yeast fungus and saprophytic molds by turns. The clinical types of onychomycosis include DLSO,TDO,PSO and SWO.
