ABSTRACT

Mixed onychomycosis are nail infections caused by two or more fungal agents, dermatophytes, yeasts or non-dermatophyte molds. We report an 83-year-old male with a 30 years history with a mixed onychomycosis caused by Trichophyton rubrum, Fusarium sp. and Candida albicans. Treated with itraconazole pulses therapy for three months and topical ciclopirox. The real frequency of these mixed onychomycosis is uncertain.
