Abstract
ABSTRACT
Onychomycosis (OM) is a challenging problem to both patient and physician. The patient suffers from a disease that reduces his quality of life while the physician struggle with long time, expensive treatments with many side effects and drug interactions that can harm the patient. The primary aim of treatment is to eradicate the organism as demonstrated by microscopy and culture. This is defined as the primary end-point. Clinical improvement and clinical cure are secondary end-points based on a strict scoring system of clinical abnormalities in the nail apparatus also, important goals are to reduce morbidity and to prevent complications.
