Abstract
Many nail dystrophies resemble onychomycosis--the most common nail condition--and confuse the clinician. When diagnosing nail infections, clinicians should be aware of these other conditions, pay attention to morphology, and take nail clippings for potassium hydroxide microscopic examination and culture.
