Deferring Nail Mycological Sampling during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Recommendations from a Multidisciplinary Panel of Nail Specialists. Academic Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Onychomycosis is the most common nail condition seen in clinical practice, with significant impact on quality of life. Clinical examination alone is insufficient for accurate diagnosis, but mycological confirmation can be challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this letter, a multidisciplinary panel of dermatologists, a podiatrist, dermatopathologists, and a mycologist, discuss considerations for mycological sampling during the pandemic.
