Onychomycosis is one of the most common foot conditions. Mixed onychomycosis and onychomycosis caused by non-dermatophyte moulds are increasing in incidence, especially in vulnerable populations, hence the importance of this study, which presents the prevalence of onychomycosis in a population of homeless people, comparing the findings with a sample of a well-resourced population. The total sample consisted of 70 participants, divided into two separate groups, a homeless population and a second group in which we included people attending a private clinic. The average age of the sample is [49.19 ± 28.81] with an age range of 18 to 78 years. In the homeless group, the most prevalent infectious agents were non-dermatophyte fungi, with a total of 48%, compared to 28% in the group housed. The most common site of infection in both groups was the nail of the first finger. We, therefore, conclude that there is a difference in the infecting agent in the homeless population and the population with homes.
甲癣是最常见的足部疾病之一。混合性甲癣和由非皮肤癣菌霉菌引起的甲癣发病率正在上升,尤其是在弱势群体中,因此本研究具有重要意义。该研究呈现了无家可归人群中甲癣的患病率,并将研究结果与资源充足人群的样本进行了比较。总样本由70名参与者组成,分为两个独立的组,一个是无家可归人群组,另一个组包括在私人诊所就诊的人员。样本的平均年龄为[49.19±28.81]岁,年龄范围为18至78岁。在无家可归组中,最常见的感染病原体是非皮肤癣菌真菌,占总数的48%,而在有住所组中这一比例为28%。两组中最常见的感染部位都是食指指甲。因此,我们得出结论,无家可归人群和有住所人群的感染病原体存在差异。
