Onychomycosis, a fungal infection affecting the nail, is characterized by discoloration and thickening of the nail plate and is the most prevalent nail infection globally. We present a case of onychomycosis caused by Trichosporon asahii, a less common etiology. Notably, the patient was successfully treated with a non-traditional antibacterial approach, photodynamic therapy, which has been infrequently documented in the literature for such infections.
甲癣是一种影响指甲的真菌感染,其特征是甲板变色和增厚,是全球最常见的指甲感染。我们报告一例由少见病原菌浅黄丝孢酵母引起的甲癣病例。值得注意的是,该患者采用非传统抗菌方法光动力疗法成功治愈,而这种感染采用该疗法在文献中鲜有记载。
