    Author: Liu J, Lei P.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2003 Aug; 49(2 Suppl Case Reports):S154-6. PubMed ID: 12894108.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 4-year-old boy with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is reported. Nail sections stained with periodic acid-Schiff and Grocott-Gomori methenamine-silver showed pseudohyphae running haphazardly within the nail. Scanning electron microscopy showed hyphae penetrating into the nail plate and the hair shaft.
