Fungal Infections of Fingernails and Toenails Printer-friendly version Email this article A fingernail or toenail infection that is caused by a fungus is called onychomycosis (say: "on-ee-koh-my-ko-sis"). Toenails are more likely to become infected than fingernails. This infection can make your nails thick and discolored. You may even have pain in your toes or fingertips. Return to top Who gets fungal nail infections? Anyone can get a fungal nail infection. These infections are more common in adults older than 60 years of age. They are especially common in people with diabetes or circulation problems. Children hardly ever get fungal nail infections. Return to top Why did I get a fungal nail infection? It may be hard to know where or how you got a fungal nail infection. A warm, wet place is a good place for a fungus to grow. If you often wear heavy work boots that make your feet warm and sweaty, a fungus can grow around your toenails. If you often walk barefooted in locker rooms, you can pick up a fungus from the warm, wet floors.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION on 9/30/98 FISH LESIONS PRESS RELEASE For More Information Contact: Catherine Haecker Public Outreach Manager, Biological Resources Fish Health, Fungal Infections, and Pfiesteria : The Role of the U.S. Geological Survey Problem The increasing incidence of fish-health problems, ranging from small external sores and lesions to large-scale fish kills, is of growing concern in the Chesapeake Bay and other Mid-Atlantic estuaries. Fish kills have been reported in North Carolina since the early 1990's. Reports of skin lesions on fish in the summer and fall of 1996 and 1997 in the Pocomoke River, Maryland, and other tributaries of Chesapeake Bay stimulated a great deal of public and scientific interest. These skin lesions ranged from small pinpoint hemorrhages to abrasions to deep ulcers. In addition, there were two fish kills, involving primarily Atlantic menhaden, in the Pocomoke River during August 1997. The fish kills, as well as the variety of fish lesions, have been blamed on the presence of a toxic dinoflagellate, Pfiesteria piscicida , or Pfiesteria -like dinoflagellates.

FDA Talk Papers are prepared by the Press Office to guide FDA personnel in responding with consistency and accuracy to questions from the public on subjects of current interest. Talk Papers are subject to change as more information becomes available. Print Media: 301-827-6242 January 29, 2001 Consumer Inquiries: 888-INFO-FDA FDA APPROVES NEW TREATMENT FOR INVASIVE FUNGAL INFECTION FDA has approved Cancidas (caspofungin acetate) Intravenous Infusion, a new anti-fungal medication for patients who are unresponsive to or cannot tolerate standard therapies for the invasive form of aspergillosis. Cancidas is the first approved drug in a new class of anti-fungal agents called echinocandins, which are believed to work by disrupting the creation of fungal cell walls. Invasive aspergillosis is a term used to describe a group of fungal infections caused by the fungus Aspergillus. Most healthy individuals are unaffected by this common fungus; however exposed individuals with weakened or abnormal immune systems may become seriously ill. In this population, this type of infection is often fatal. FDA based its approval decision on the results of a small, multi- center, open-label, non-comparative study that was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Cancidas, as well as an integration of the efficacy information submitted in the preclinical and supportive clinical studies. This open-label study involved patients with invasive aspergillosis who were either unresponsive or intolerant of previous therapies. In addition, the Agency also considered the efficacy and safety of available therapies for invasive aspergillosis, and the risk-benefit analysis supporting the decision.

Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 05 December 2001. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: About 15% of the population have fungal infections of the feet (tinea pedis or athlete's foot). Whilst there are many clinical presentations of tinea pedis the most common are between the toes (interdigital) and on the soles, heels and sides of the foot (plantar) which is known as moccasin foot. Once acquired the infection can spread to other sites including the nails, which can be a source of reinfection. Oral therapy is usually used for chronic conditions or when topical treatment has failed. Objectives: To assess the effects and costs of oral treatments for fungal infections of the skin of the foot (tinea pedis).

S uperficial fungal infections are among the most common skin diseases, affecting millions of people throughout the world. These infections, which occur in both healthy and immunocompromised persons, are caused by dermatophytes, yeasts and nondermatophyte molds. Effective treatment can reduce the duration of symptoms in patients with superficial fungal infections. Dermatophytes, specifically Trichophyton, Epidermophyton and Microsporum species, are responsible for most superficial fungal infections. The estimated lifetime risk of acquiring a dermatophyte infection is between 10 and 20 percent. The term "tinea" refers exclusively to dermatophyte infections. Tinea infections are classified according to their anatomic location. (Pityriasis versicolor, sometimes referred to as tinea versicolor, is caused by

Antifungal agents used judiciously (see below) Amphotericin B A polyene antibiotic which binds to ergosterol, the principal steroid in the fungal cell membrane, and increases the permeability of the cell membrane It may also act as an immunoadjuvant enhancing cellular and humoral immunity. High concentrations are fungicidal, whereas low concentrations are fungistatic. May be used clinically with flucytosine synergistically.
