Whitening of the nail, or leukonychia, can have a wide range of etiologies including genetic disorders, trauma, poisoning, autoimmune disorders, and infections. Here we detail a case of idiopathic acquired leukonychia totalis in a 17-year-old boy. This condition has been reported 13 times in the literature previously, with only young boys being affected. Proper diagnosis may help minimize unnecessary investigations and prevent additional psychological stress over whether an underlying disease is present.
指甲变白，即白甲症，病因广泛，包括遗传疾病、外伤、中毒、自身免疫性疾病和感染。在此，我们详细介绍一例17岁男孩特发性获得性全白甲症病例。此前文献中已报道过13例这种病症，仅累及年轻男孩。正确诊断有助于减少不必要的检查，并防止因是否存在潜在疾病而产生额外的心理压力。
