1/25. indinavir-related recurrent paronychia and ingrown toenails.lamivudine and indinavir are two medications used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) that have recently been reported to cause paronychia. The nails of the great toes are commonly affected. This is the second report of paronychia and ingrown toenails due to indinavir and the first report of recurrent paronychia and ingrown toenails associated with this drug.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = nail (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/25. Drug-induced and traumatic nail problems in the haemophilias.Many persons with haemophilia suffer from hiv and receive highly active antiretroviral therapy. Three patients received indinavir and required surgery due to ingrown toenails. Two patients suffered from a traumatic subungual haematoma. The treatment protocol is described whereby the pressure exerted onto the germinal layer and the nail bed is relieved in order to alleviate pain and nail matrix damage.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = nail (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/25. How far does an ingrown toenail enlarge?Bizarre hypertrophy of the right great toe presented in a 50-year-old woman with an ingrown nail, as well as mild hypertrophy of the left great toe. A fingerlike overgrowth was thought to be a reactive change resulting from repetitive formation of granulation from the histopathological analysis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = nail (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/25. Multiple onychocryptosis following treatment of onychomycosis with oral terbinafine.The authors report an unusual case of multiple onychocryptosis, which developed following treatment of onychomycosis with oral terbinafine. With new growth of the healthy nail plate, the distal aspect of multiple toenails became ingrown with periungual inflammation. This required several minor surgical procedures to alleviate the onychocryptosis. The authors present this case report as a potential complication of oral antifungal therapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.92857995119785keywords = nail, onychomycosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/25. Congenital hypertrophy of the lateral nail folds of the hallux: clinical features and follow-up of seven cases.Congenital hypertrophy of the nail folds of the hallux describes an abnormality of the periungual soft tissues of the big toe characterized by hypertrophy of the nail fold which partially covers the nail plate and is frequently associated with inflammation and pain due to an ingrowing nail. We describe the clinical picture and follow-up of seven patients with this abnormality. In three patients the affected toe showed an asymptomatic, dome-shaped, hypertrophic lip that partially covered the nail plate. Four patients had acute inflammatory changes due to toenail ingrowth, with considerable swelling and reddening of the hypertrophic lip that was painful on pressure. Topical treatment with steroids was useful to reduce inflammation and produced persistent remission in two patients. Follow-up showed a spontaneous disappearance of the hypertrophic nail fold in one of the seven patients. In two patients the hypertrophic lip partially regressed, but remained clearly visible, while in two patients it remained unchanged. In two patients surgical correction of the soft tissue abnormality was necessary due to painful nail ingrowth unresponsive to topical treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.7142857142857keywords = nail (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/25. Onychocryptosis-phenol burn fiasco.Ingrowing toenails, onychocryptosis, are a common condition that can be treated conservatively or surgically. Conservative treatment often fails necessitating operative intervention. Surgical treatments include wedge resection, Zadik's procedure and nail removal with ablation of the germinal matrix by phenol. The following report describes a 15-year-old male footballer who sustained burns following phenol treatment, resulting in amputation of his left great toe, as well as suggestions to avoid any similar complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.28571428571429keywords = nail (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/25. foot problems in Turner's syndrome.In a randomized, prospective study, data were collected on 23 girls with Turner's syndrome (TS) and an age- and sex-matched control group of 47 girls in order to document foot problems and to establish their cause. history revealed that 6 (26%) girls with TS had problems with ingrowing toenails compared with none of the control subjects. Compared with the control subjects, girls with TS showed a significantly increased incidence of short, broad feet; hyperextension of the great toes at the interphalangeal joint; toe nail involution; inflammation of the periungual tissues; and intermittent lymphedema. These features in combination with excessive subtalar joint pronation predispose to an increased risk of ingrowing toenails. We conclude that foot care problems are common in TS because of a number of predisposing factors and that foot examination should be part of routine surveillance.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.42857142857143keywords = nail (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/25. The treatment role of the plastic nail guard for ingrowing toenails.An illustrative case of bilateral ingrowing toe-nails highlights the practical advantages of the use of the plastic nail guard (PNG). Insertion of the PNG is inexpensive and is easy to learn and perform. The technique is described and discussed. Its recurrence rate compares favourably with simple avulsion and wedge resection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4285714285714keywords = nail (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/25. Scytalidium hyalinum isolated from the toe nail of an Australian patient.The isolation of Scytalidium hyalinum from the toe nail of a patient from Melbourne is reported. This is the first record of the isolation of this fungus from a clinical site in australia. A brief history is given of the occurrence of Scytalidium hyalinum and the related fungus, Hendersonula toruloidea, in tinea pedis and tinea unguium in immigrants to the United Kingdom from tropical countries. attention is drawn to the possible presence of these dermatophyte-like infections in patients in australia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = nail (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/25. Merkel cell tumor masquerading as granulation tissue on a teenager's toe.Merkel cell tumor (MCT) typically occurs on the head or neck of elderly patients. A case is presented of a teenage girl with an MCT on her toe. The diagnosis was made 5 years after an ingrown nail on the toe was avulsed. During the interim 5 years, the periungual skin looked like granulation tissue and thus no biopsy was performed. This case of MCT is unique in three aspects: (a) extraordinarily young age, (b) atypical site, and (c) deceptive clinical appearance. awareness of the possible occurrence of MCT in younger patients and in unusual locations will facilitate earlier diagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = nail (Clic here for more details about this article) |
