Abstract
This is the largest study of laboratory-diagnosed onychomycosis in
England for children younger than 17 years. The most common (91.5%)
cultured organism in this population was Trichophyton rubrum. Candida
species were isolated only from fingernails, and the majority were from
children younger than 5 years. Continued analysis of fungal pathogens
is vital to identify changing trends.
