ABSTRACT

Onychomycosis are nail infections that can be generated by dermatophyte, yeasts, and non-dermatophyte molds. N. dimidiatum is a non-dermatophyte mold that produce keratinases, virulence factor that allows it to affect the nail. We present a case of a 41-year-old male with total dystrophic onychomycosis in feet, with melanonychia, caused by N. dimidiatum. The patient was treated with itraconazole pulse therapy, however there was no improvement.
