  • Title: Hendersonula toruloidea infection: successful response of onychomycosis to nail avulsion and topical ciclopiroxolamine.
    Author: Rollman O, Johansson S.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 1987; 67(6):506-10. PubMed ID: 2451376.
    Abstract:
    The exotic mould Hendersonula toruloidea may occasionally produce a ringwormlike, non-inflammatory, therapy-resistant mycosis of the skin and nails simulating chronic dermatophytosis. We report on a 30-year-old Nigerian male who, after two years' sojourn in Sweden, developed finger-nail dystrophy and mild scaling of the palm and sole skin due to H. toruloidea infection. Nail avulsion followed by long-term occlusive application of ciclopiroxolamine cleared the onychomycosis, whereas the sole and palm infection was resistant to ciclopiroxolamine and glutaraldehyde treatment.
