Nail clippings from patients suspected of having onychomycosis were processed for histologic evaluation in the same manner as routine skin with the addition of a chitin-softening solution prior to processing. The sections were stained by the periodic acid-Schiff method and examined for fungal hyphae. The results were compared with the results of fungal cultures from the same nail. Our findings indicate that routine histopathologic analysis of the nail plate alone is a useful complementary method to fungal culture for diagnosing onychomycosis.
对于疑似患有甲癣的患者的指甲剪片，在处理前添加几丁质软化溶液，以与常规皮肤相同的方式进行组织学评估。切片用高碘酸-希夫氏法染色，并检查是否有真菌菌丝。将结果与同一指甲的真菌培养结果进行比较。我们的研究结果表明，仅对甲板进行常规组织病理学分析是一种用于诊断甲癣的、对真菌培养有用的补充方法。
