Onychomycosis caused by Scopulariopsis brumptii. A case report and sensitivity studies.

Abstract

Scopulariopsis brumptii was isolated from nail lesions in left hand of a 42 year-old-farmer. The direct microscopic examination of the nail samples revealed light brown, septate, branched fungal hyphae along with thick-walled spherical cells. The histopathological examination showed involvement of internal phase of the nail plate. Amongst the antimycotics tested against S. brumptii 'In vitro' oxiconazole was found to be the most active with MIC value of 10 micrograms/ml-1. This report documents the first instance of onychomycosis caused by S. brumptii.
