Onychomycosis and Trichosporon beigelii in Korea

Background Onychomycosis is a common superficial fungal infection. Causative organisms in onychomycosis have been extensively studied, but the role of nondermatophytes is controversial. Trichosporon beigelii is a soil and water inhabiting yeast and is occasionally found in the flora normally associated with human skin, mouth, and nails. Several reports in the literature have suggested that T. beigelii is one of the pathogens in onychomycosis.
