Learning Objectives
1) Recognize dermatophytoma (biofilm) in order to customize the approach to more specific treatment
2) Explain how biofilm research (an under-recognized condition) could lead to finding new targets for antifungal therapy
3) Emphasize the role of KOH and culture in identifying infection between dermatophytes and non-dermatophytes
4) Discuss latest topical treatments available

The Role of Biofilmsin Onychomycosis (cont)
• Biofilm research could lead to new approaches for antifungal therapies
• Studies are needed to understand the micro-environment of biofilm in dermatophyte infection… biological, chemical, and physical factors involved in this complex relationship– To alternate or stop bacterial or fungal ability to synthesize
the extracellular polysaccharide
– Drugs that will penetrate the biofilms to kill the fungi or bacteria in this complex relationship

Non-Dermatophyte Treatment
• Aspergillus species onychomycosis can be treated with oral terbinafine (250 mg/d for 2-3 months) or itraconazole (400 mg/d in 2-3 pulses)
• Onychomycosis caused by Acremonium species, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, and Fusarium species is more difficult to cure
• The combination of topical with systemic increases the percentage of cure
• Onychomycosis caused by Scytalidium species does not respond to systemic treatment
• A case of complete cure of Scytalidium hyalinumfingernail onychomycosis using amorolfine nail lacquer was reported

TreatmentofCandida SpeciesNailInfectionwithTerbinafine
• Twenty patients were treated with terbinafine (250 mg/d) for 16 weeks• 60% of target nails were cured clinically and
mycologically• Two patients showed mild, reversible elevation of
liver enzymes• Most nails were infected by Candida parapsilosis• Only two patients were infected with
Candida albicans

Non-Dermatophyte Molds
• Clinical studies have shown that terbinafine is more efficacious than itraconazole, although itraconazole has broader antimicrobial coverage for non-dermatophytes
• Generally, Aspergillus species and Scopulaciopsisspecies are more susceptible than other non-dermatophytes
• For the more difficult-to-treat non-dermatophytes,a combination of oral antifungals with topical agents is recommended
• Surgical or chemical evulsion or debridement may be the best option in certain cases

Are Lasers More Effective than Traditional Treatments?
• Evidence-based support for the use of laseris lacking
• Double-blind studies comparing lasers to placebo are lacking
• Laser treatment probably is safe, but its efficacy remains to be proven
• Cost-wise, it is unlikely that laser will be less expensive than the traditional treatments
