Since the early 20th century, onychomycosis originated with the onset of war, the use of occlusive footwear, and the mass migration of people by transportation in the United States. Even though onychomycosis has a high prevalence in the US, other parts of the world including Canada, West Africa, Southeast Asia, Northern Australia, and Europe have been well documented with cases of fungal toenail infection in their environments. () is the major dermatophyte responsible for toenail fungal infection and is typically diagnosed in conjunction with tinea pedis, especially in individuals older than 60 years. Gender roles, age, cultural habits, shoe gear, sports activities, and genetic predisposition all contribute to the different presentation of onychomycosis in these areas where organisms like dermatophytes, candida, and molds were isolated in a variety of cases. Despite the differences in isolated pathogens, treatment outcomes remained consistent. This literature review discusses the influence of tinea pedis, genetics, shoe gear, sports, and age on the development of onychomycosis.
自20世纪初以来，在美国，甲癣随着战争爆发、闭塞性鞋类的使用以及人们通过交通工具大规模迁移而出现。尽管甲癣在美国的患病率很高，但世界其他地区，包括加拿大、西非、东南亚、澳大利亚北部和欧洲，其环境中也有真菌性趾甲感染病例的详细记录。（）是导致趾甲真菌感染的主要皮肤癣菌，通常与足癣一起诊断，尤其是在60岁以上的人群中。性别角色、年龄、文化习惯、鞋类、体育活动和遗传易感性都导致了这些地区甲癣的不同表现，在这些地区，各种病例中分离出了皮肤癣菌、念珠菌和霉菌等病原体。尽管分离出的病原体存在差异，但治疗结果保持一致。这篇文献综述讨论了足癣、遗传、鞋类、运动和年龄对甲癣发展的影响。
