Abstract

Onychomycosis is the fungal infection of nails caused by yeasts, dermatophytes, and nondermatophyte molds. As a divergent set of fungi can cause onychomycosis, reliable and accurate laboratory identification of the etiological agent is crucial for choosing the proper treatment. Herein, we present a rare case of nondermatophytic onychomycosis of the toenail caused by Phoma glomerata in a 27-year-old Iranian female patient. In addition, a review of the literature on human infections caused by Phoma species is provided. © 2023 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins. All rights reserved.
