Onychomycosis: an analysis of 50 cases and a comparison of diagnostic techniques.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Diagnosis of onychomycosis using the periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) test for sensitive identification of hyphae and fungal culture for identification of species has become the mainstay for many clinical practices. With the advent of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, physicians can identify a fungal toenai...
