`
`Background: Onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nail bed, is responsible for up to 50% of nail
`disorders. Although several surveys have been conducted in different parts of the world, there have been
`no multicenter epidemiologic surveys of onychomycosis in North America.
`
`Objective: A 12-center study was undertaken to (1) determine the frequency of onychomycosis, (2)
`identify organisms recovered from the nails, and (3) determine the antifungal susceptibility of isolates.
`
`Methods: A total of 1832 subjects participated in this study and completed a comprehensive questionnaire,
`and nail clippings were collected for potassium hydroxide examination and culturing.
`
`Results: The frequency of onychomycosis, as defined by the presence of septate hyphae on direct
`microscopy and/or the recovery of a dermatophyte, was found to be 15.8%. In general, the dermatophyte
`isolates were susceptible to the antifungals tested.
`
`Conclusion: Because of the limited number of large—scale studies, the baseline incidence is not firmly
`established. However, the higher frequency of onychomycosis in this study may confirm the suspected
`increase in incidence of disease in North America. (I Am Acad Dermatol 2000;/£32641-8.)
`
`nychomycosis can be caused by dermato-
`phytes, yeasts, or a select few nondermato—
`phyte molds. Dermatophytes, particularly
`Trichopbyton ruhrum and Trichophyton 7nentagro-
`phytes, are responsible for the majority of infections.
`Onychomycosis is the most common nail disorder in
`
`adults, accounting for up to 50% of all nail diseases.
`Suggested predisposing factors include increasing
`age, immunosuppression, poor peripheral circula-
`tion, trauma, and tinea pedis. Although the inci-
`dence of onychomycosis in the United States has
`been arbitrarily estimated by Zaiasl to be 15% to 20%

`
`in those persons 40 to 60 years of age, there have
`been no recent multicenter epidemiologic surveys in
`the United States. Previous studies from the United
`
`Kingdom} Spain,3 Finland,4 and Canada5 report the
`incidence of onychomycosis as 2.7%, 2.6%, 8.4%, and
`6.85%, respectively. In a representative sample of
`20,000 persons in the northeastern United States in
`the late 1970s,
`the US Health and Nutrition
`Examination Survey (NHANES I) found the overall
`prevalence of fungal nail infection to be 2.18%.6 A
`1997 cross—sectional survey conducted in a derma-
`tology clinic waiting room in Cleveland, Ohio, found
`8.7% of patients to have culture—confirmed dermato-
`phyte onychomycosis.7
`Because there are relatively few large multicenter
`studies, we sought to provide a benchmark on which
`trends in the incidence of onychomycosis may be
`determined. In this study, we performed a multicen-
`ter investigation to determine the frequency of ony-
`chomycosis, the range of fungal species isolated
`from nails, and the antifungal susceptibility patterns
`of the isolated organisms. Participants included 12
`centers covering various regions (East, West, North,
`South, and Midwest) of the United States and one
`Canadian site.
`
`METHODS
`
`The study was performed from June 1997 to May
`1998. All subjects attending primary care physician
`offices or persons accompanying them during their
`visits were approached and asked to participate in
`this survey Excluded persons were those who
`refused examination and patients who presented for
`onychomycosis or tinea pedis. Nail clippings were
`taken from the most severely affected nail. When
`both fingernails and toenails were involved, samples
`were obtained from both sites. In cases in which no
`
`signs of onychomycosis were evident, nail clippings
`were taken from the big toenail. Subjects signed a
`consent form and completed an exhaustive ques-
`tionnaire covering demographics, personal habits,
`and medical history. Information was not collected
`on persons who refused to participate.
`All nail specimens were sent to the Mycology
`Reference Laboratory, Center for Medical Mycology,
`Cleveland, Ohio, for direct microscopic observation
`(with calcofluor in 10% potassium hydroxide) and
`culture (with the exception of the New York and
`Canadian specimens, whose laboratory results were
`provided to us). Furthermore, the Canadian site did
`not preserve the isolates and therefore susceptibility
`testing was not performed on these organisms.
`Primary isolation media included Mycosel agar (BBL,
`Cockeysville, Md) and potato dextrose agar with
`chloramphenicol and gentamicin. All cultures were
`
`incubated at 50°C for up to 4 weeks. Dermatophyte
`isolates were identified by microscopic morphology,
`urea testing, and Tric/aopbyton agars. All recovered
`yeasts were identified, using the germ tube test (for
`Candida albicoms) and the API 20C identification
`system (bioMerieux Vitek, Hazelwood, Mo). Only
`those nondermatophyte molds, which in the past
`have been implicated in nail disease, were identi-
`fied,8 again using microscopic morphology. Thus
`molds considered as highly unlikely to be significant,
`such as Alternaria, Curvularia,
`and most
`Aspergillus and Pem'cz'Zlz'um spp, were not included
`in the analysis of data.
`A case of onychomycosis was defined as a person
`with any one of the following: specimen positive for
`septate hyphae by microscopic examination and cul-
`ture positive for a dermatophyte, specimen positive
`for septate hyphae by microscopic examination and
`negative for dermatophyte culture, or specimen neg-
`ative by microscopy and positive for dermatophyte
`culture. The presence of septate hyphae and/or a
`dermatophyte was classified as a case of onychomy-
`cosis, regardless of the appearance of the nail.
`Because none of the cultures which grew C albicans
`were correlated with positive microscopic findings
`for yeast cells, it could not be ascertained whether
`the organism was a contaminant or was causing dis-
`ease (eg, paronychia). Therefore these C albicans
`isolates were not included in the data for ony-
`chomycosis cases. Similarly, no attempt was made to
`implicate any nondermatophyte mold isolated from
`these subjects as a causative agent of onychomycosis
`because no results from serial cultures were avail
`
`able. Nondermatophytes are included here for the
`purpose of organism distribution in the nail and anti-
`fungal susceptibility pattern information only.
`A microdilution broth assay, developed at the
`Center for Medical Mycology under the auspices of
`the National Committee for Clinical Laborator;
`Standards (NCCLS), was used to determine the pat-

`RPMI 1640 was used as a medium, 35°C and 4 days as
`incubation temperature and time, respectively, and 2
`to 5 X 103 conidia/mL as an inoculum. The minimal
`

`terbinafine (Novartis Pharmaceuticals, East Hanover,
`NJ),
`itraconazole (Janssen Research Foundation,
`Beerse, Belgium), and griseofulvin (Sigma Chemical
`Company, St Louis, Mo).
`Statistical analysis was performed at the Centers
`for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta,
`Georgia (CDC investigators were not involved in the

`
`RESULTS
`
`A total of 1832 persons agreed to participate in
`this survey, of whom 253 (13.8%) met the case defi-
`nition for onychomycosis as described above. If pos-
`itive microscopy is taken as the sole criterion, the
`frequency of onychomycosis would be 11.8% (n =
`217), whereas 7.2% (n = 131) of the subjects were
`dermatophyte culture positive alone. The median
`age of all patients with onychomycosis was 57 years
`(range, 1-98 years), 58% were male, and 10% were
`African American. Univariate analysis identified sev-
`eral factors to be associated with increased risk of
`
`disease (Table I). These included some demograph-
`ic factors such as age (those with onychomycosis
`were older than those without), sex (those with ony-
`chomycosis were more likely to be male), and clini-
`cal factors (the presence of diseases that affect the
`circulatory system, such as diabetes, vascular dis-
`
`eases, and hypertension, was associated with
`increased risk of onychomycosis (OR = 2.0; 95% CI,
`1.4-9.4), as well as having dystrophic nails (OR = 4.1;
`95% CI, 2.8-6.1). Race, a family history of nail prob
`lems or athlete’s foot, and participation in various
`sports or gardening activities were not associated
`with increased risk. In fact, participation in sports
`was associated with a decreased risk of having ony-
`chomycosis (Table 1).
`Of the organisms identified from all of the nail
`samples, dermatophytes were the most commonly
`isolated fungi (59%), followed by nondermatophyte
`molds and yeasts (representing approximately 20%
`each). Of the dermatophytes, Tricbop/9yz‘on rubrzmz
`was the most common isolate, followed by Tmem‘(.~
`gropbytes. T tonsumns, Microsporum cams, and
`Epidermopbyton floccosum accounted for 0.8% of
`the dermatophytes each. Acremomum, Fusarm/."~’.
`and Scopulariopsis spp were the most common iso-
`lates among the nondermatophytes (representing
`29.5%, 34.1% and 20% of nondermatophyte isolates.

`
`tures. Lower numbers of C gm‘!/z'er7nona'z'z', C [ropi-
`Calis, and C lusz'tam'ae were also isolated (Table II).
`In general, the same pattern of frequency of all
`organisms was observed when isolate distribution
`was queried by US regions, although there was a
`slight
`variation
`in
`distribution
`(Table
`III).
`Comparison of species distribution between the US
`and the Canadian sites revealed that although similar
`fungal species were isolated in the two countries, a
`difference in frequency patterns exists (Table IV).
`Interpretive breakpoints for clermatophytic fungi
`have not yet been established, and the clinical rele-
`vance of MIC results remains uncertain.“ However,
`
`all 4 antifungal drugs tested (terbinafine, flucona-
`zole, itraconazole, and griseofulvin) appear effective
`against the tested dermatophyte isolates, although
`several T memagrop/9y2.‘es isolates had elevated MICs
`to fluconazole. Overall, terbinafine (MIC§0 and MIC90
`of 0.001 ug/mL and 0.002 ug/mL, respectively) had a
`significantly greater activity than the other agents
`tested against the dermatophytes. For example, the
`mean MIC of terbinafine was 0.0012 as compared
`with a mean MIC of 0.104 for itraconazole (Table V).
