Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We describe the case of a female patient suffering from yellow nail syndrome (YNS) accompanied by bronchial hyperactivity and sinusitis. A dermatophyte onychomycosis was evident on some of her nails. Following treatment of the respiratory pathology and oral administration of vitamin E, there was an improvement in the nails. The improvement of the yellow nails was however more discernible subsequent to the introduction of itraconazole pulse therapy for secondary onychomycosis suggesting an effect of this treatment on ungual growth. |
