Abstract:
The point of entry via the eponychium plays an important role in pathogenesis of nail infection. In the case of this invasion route, the fungi settle in the nail organ first of all between the horn cells and they penetrate into the nail as such only later. This conclusion is based on numerous histological preparations of mycotic nails.
