A Double-Blind Randomised Clinical Trial of Terbinafine-Nanostructured Lipid Carriers: Should We Anticipate This Strategy for Effective Topical Treatment of Onychomycosis? [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Oral terbinafine (TBF) is the drug of choice for onychomycosis management. To treat and heal the rough and thick nail tissue affected by fungal agents, a high dose and plasma concentration of this drug is necessary. This, however, poses a life‐threatening risk due to the cytotoxic side effects, drug–drug interactions, and adverse ...

Onychomycosis is the most common nail infective disorder. It is caused mainly by anthropophilic dermatophytes, in particular by Trichophyton rubrum and T. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale. Yeasts, like Candida albicans and C. parapsilosis, and molds, like Aspergillus spp., represent the second cause of onychomycosis.

In vitro biofilms and antifungal susceptibility of dermatophyte and non-dermatophyte moulds involved in foot mycosis [PDF]
Tinea pedis and onychomycosis are among the commonest fungal diseases in the world. Dermatophytes and, less frequently, non-dermatophyte moulds are aetiological agents of foot mycosis and are capable of forming biofilms.
