The authors report six cases of toenail onyxis due to an unusual yeast species, Candida ciferrii. For half of these cases, direct microscopical examination showed the presence of blastospores and pseudo-to-true mycelium, demonstrating the parasitic transition of the fungus. In light of the literature and of their own experience, the authors suggest that C. ciferrii could be an etiological agent of onychomycosis, particularly for elderly patients with extensive trophic disorders.
作者报告了6例由一种不常见的酵母菌种——西弗念珠菌引起的趾甲甲床炎病例。在其中半数病例中，直接显微镜检查显示有芽生孢子和假菌丝至真菌丝，证明了真菌的寄生转变。根据文献及自身经验，作者认为西弗念珠菌可能是甲癣的病原体，尤其是对于患有广泛营养障碍的老年患者。
