Fractional CO2 laser plus topical antifungal versus fractional CO2 laser versus topical antifungal in the treatment of onychomycosis.

Abstract:

:Onychomycosis is an important medical disorder affecting both health and quality of life of patients. This study was done to compare the efficacy of CO2 laser in combination with topical tioconazole versus CO2 laser only versus topical tioconazole alone in onychomycosis. A total of 120 patients with onychomycosis were randomly assigned to three groups. Group A patients were treated with fractional CO2 laser followed by topical tioconazole 28% for five sessions with 3 weeks interval. Group B patients were treated with only fractional CO2 laser for five sessions with 3 weeks interval. Group C patients were treated with only topical tioconazole 28% for 16 weeks. The clinical effect, KOH examination, and culture for the affected nails in the three groups were analyzed. One month after the last session, regarding clinical response, 55% showed complete clinical improvement in Group A versus 30% in Group B versus 25% in Group C with a significant difference in between. There was a significant difference between the three studied groups as regard KOH test and culture after treatment. Fractional CO2 laser combined with topical antifungal is a safe and effective treatment for onychomycosis.
