Abstract:

Summary.

We report a case of onychomycosis with melanonychia due to Candida parapsilosis alone. Candida parapsilosis is now identified in the great majority of candidal onychomycosis, mainly in association with other yeasts. The criteria allowing the distinction between invasion and colonization, the risk factors and the treatment of C. parapsilosis onychomycosis are discussed.
