`
`Onychomycosis is an often overlooked and/or undertreated disease.This may be in part due to an under appreciation among both
`physicians and patients of its impact on quality of life and the potential for significant complications, from tinea corporis and cru— I
`ris, to bacterial superinfection. Some health care providers are unaware of the effective low—risk treatments currently available.
`Changing demographic characteristics such as the relative aging of the population; the increasing prevalence of diabetes and
`peripheral vascular disease, and widespread iatrogenic immunosuppression; and changes in lifestyle practices such as earlier
`and greater participation in sports, are likely to lead to an increased prevalence of onychomycosis in both adults and children. Two
`topical onychomycosis treatments, efinaconazole 10% solution, and tavaborole 5% solution were recently approved by the FDA.
`This article reviews the state of knowledge and describes, briefly, these new treatment options.

`
`lINTRODUGTIONl
`
`early half (48%) of nail abnormalities result from docu-
`
`Nmented onychomycosis,‘ with toenails affected most
`
`often (toenail-fingernail ratio: 10.6)? In addition to its
`cosmetic impact, onychomycosis can be painful and thereby
`significantly affect patients’ quality of life (QoL).°"‘ These effects
`increase with disease duration and extent and/or number of toe-
`
`nails affected.The average number of toenails involved is 5, with
`approximately 15% of patients having all 10 affected.‘ Spontane-
`ous resolution is rare and disease duration is often >5 years.“
`
`Treatment paradigms will likely shift due to the introduction of
`new topical agents and the increasing recognition that all ages
`are at risk for fungal nail infections.This paper will review the
`epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of onychomycosis
`in the context of these new developments.
`
`medical office visits, or unselected/general population). Preva-
`lence is clearly higher in males and increases with age.‘-5*’
`
`Risk factors for onychomycosis include tinea pedis,“ nail
`trauma,“ diabetes,“ peripheral vascular disease (PVD),5'3'”"3
`and personal/family history of onychomycosis.” Significant
`associations also exist for psoriasis.” These conditions may
`contribute to onychomycosis susceptibility via slower/poor nail
`growth (due to age or poor circulation), immune suppression,
`and/or nail trauma (diabetic neuropathy, psoriatic nail changes).
`Vasoconstriction and/or hypoxemia due to nicotine exposure or
`PVD may further increase the risk of onychomycosis."
`
`The incidence of onychomycosis will likely rise due to projected
`increases in important risk factors such as age, diabetes, and PVD.
`
`Epidemiology
`Disease prevalence estimates vary widely across studies; how-
`ever, a recent meta-analysis calculated a rate of approximately
`4% in North America/Europe? Between-study variation may be
`due to differences in study location (prevalence varies with ge-
`ography/cultural practices), study methodology, and population
`source (ie, patients with nail complaints, mycological samples,
`
`Diabetes
`
`Approximately half (46-50%) of patients with diabetes have
`toenail abnormalities?“ of which 57-65% are due to onycho-
`mycosis” (13-30% prevalence9"5"‘"’). Similar to the general
`population, older age,” male gender,9 PVD,9 and family his-
`tory of onychomycosis” are all significant risk factors among
`diabetics. Further risk factors include immunosuppressionf’

`
`Pediatrics
`
`Nail abnormalities are present in 0.4-1.8% of pediatric patients,25‘2“

`review of all pediatric patients presenting to a large academic
`dermatology practice noted an incidence of approximately 3%;
`however, referral bias has likely inflated this number somewhat.“
`Like the adult population, the prevalence of onychomycosis in-
`creases with age“-28'3‘r33 and is at least as common in boys as
`girls.2“"9i3‘-“The prevalence of, or at least awareness of, onycho-
`mV00SiS appears to be rising in the pediatric popu|ation.33'3"This
`may be due to greater surveillance, ’perfect progeny’ attitudes
`among parents, earlier and increased participation in sports

`"Dermatophytes are the primary
`causative agent in the majority of

`
`Diagnosis
`Many health care providers frequently diagnose onychomyco-
`sis based solely on clinical examination; however, this can be
`misleading due to overlapping clinical signs and extensive dif-
`ferential diagnosis (Table 1).

`
`Presence of unilateral dystrophy involving 22 toenails and dys-
`trophy of both the first and fifth toenails on the same foot are
`predictive of onychomycosis.“ When onychomycosis is sus-
`pected based on clinical examination, the presence of plantar
`desquamation is also predictive of fungal infection.35 Dystrophy
`of a single toenail or of all 10 toenails were neither supportive
`nor contraindicative of onychomycosis.5
`
`lateral subungual onychomycosis (DLSO; 86%) is the
`Distal
`most commonly observed subtype, followed by superficial
`onychomycosis (SO; 14%) and proximal subungual onychomy-
`cosis (PSO; O.23%).‘Total dystrophic onychomycosis (TDO) and
`endonyx onychomycosis (E0) are uncommon. In some cases, a
`mixture of infective patterns is observed, so called mixed pat-
`tern onychomycosis (MPO).
`
`Dermatophytes are the primary causative agent in the major-
`ity of patients (65% worldwide, 82% in North America) with T
`rubrum being the most common species (45% worldwide, ap-
`proximately 59% in North America)?
`
`Spec/'a/ Populations
`The pattern of causative agents in patients with diabetes‘°'“"“ or
`PVD‘9 is similar to the general population. In patients with pso-
`riasis, the pattern is also similar,“ although the proportion of
`nondermatophyte molds and yeasts may be greater in patients
`with psoriasis, most likely due to the increased likelihood of
`fingernail infections where nondermatophyte mold and yeast
`infections are more common.“r3‘5
`
`Similar to adults, dermatophytes are the most common patho-
`gens present in the toenails of pediatric patients,27'29-33 and the
`most common morphology is DLSO.”-33 in pediatric patients

`the latter is not FDA-approved for onychomycosis. A study
`comparing all three agents for dermatophyte infections dem-
`onstrated clinical (>75% reduction in onycholysis, subungual
`hyperkeratosis, and percentage of nail involvement) and my-
`cological (KOH and culture negative) cure rates at the end of
`9 months (3 months treatment, 6 months follow-up) that were
`81% and 75% with terbinafine (250 mg OD), 78% and 61% with
`itraconazole (200 mg BID, first week each month), and 38% and
`31% with fluconazole (150 mg once weekly), respectively, with
`terbinafine and itraconazole being statistically betterthan fluco-
`nazole.42The use of these systemic treatments is often limited
`by safety concerns such as liver toxicity with terbinafine and
`fluconazole“-4‘ or ventricular disfunction with itraconazole.“
`
`Potential drug-drug interactions also limit their use (Table 2).

`overall, toenails are the most common site of infection27'29'3‘;
`however, the fingernail-toenail ratio and causative agent profile
`shifts over pediatric age groups.Thus, yeast infections of the
`fingernails are most prevalent in infants and pre—schoo|—aged
`children but in patients older than 6 years, dermatophyte toe-
`nail infections are most common.2933
`
`Diagnostic Tests
`Since onychomycosis is caused by different genera of fungus,
`it is important to confirm clinical diagnoses utilizing a combi-
`nation of mycologic culture and microscopy (KOH staining)
`or histomycology (PAS staining). However, newer PCR tech-
`niques have several advantages over these more traditional
`methods — results are available quickly (days instead of weeks
`with culture); it is less susceptible to contamination, sampling
`technique, fungal viability, and morphologic/phenotypic differ-
`ences; and it is better adapted to identifying mixed infections.”
`
`Treatment
`
`Until recently, onychomycosis treatments have been disap-
`pointing in terms of efficacy and tolerability.Topical treatments
`have been largely ineffective due to poor nail bed penetration,
`and dependent on lacquer-based vehicles and debridement.
`Systemic treatments have been more effective but potential
`drug-drug interactions and other adverse effects limit their use.
`
`The efficacy of an antifungal therapy can be assessed by sev-
`eral measures. Mycological cure is usually defined as negative
`microscopy (KOH) and negative culture results. Complete cure,
`defined as a completely clear/normal nail (0% nail involvement)
`and mycological cure, is the FDA’s preferred endpoint for the
`evaluation of antifungal efficacy, although a completely normal
`nail may be unattainable due to matrix damage. Endpoints like
`‘almost complete cure’ (35% nail involvement and mycological
`cure) and ‘clinical cure’ (s10% nail involvement and mycological
`cure) may be more practical and most patients and physicians
`find this degree of resolution satisfactory.
`
`Physical Modalities
`Laser treatments and photodynamic therapy (PDT) are only
`FDA-approved for temporarily improving the appearance of
`affected nails and there is limited published peer-reviewed
`clinical data on which to base their use.” Consequently, most
`experts feel it is premature to recommend it.
`
`In combination with topical therapy, debridement may reduce
`Symptoms, improve appearance, and lead to better patient sat-
`isfaction39"‘°; however, debridement alone has not been shown
`to impact mycological cure.“
`
`Systemic Treatments
`Currently available systemic treatments that are widely used
`include terbinafine,
`itraconazole, and fluconazole, although
`
`Tricyc|icAntidepressants Antihypertensives Antihistamines
`
`Selective Serotonin
`Reuptake Inhibitors
`(SSRIs)
`
`Monoamine Oxidase
`Inhibitors (MAO|s)
`
`Benzodiazepines
`Opioids
`
`Antipsychotics
`Vasoconstrictors
`(ie, migraine
`treatments)
`
`Following recent regulatory actions related to liver and ad-
`renal
`toxicity,“ ketoconazole should not be used to treat
`
`superficial fungal infections, including onychomycosis, under
`any circumstances.
`
`Topical Therapies
`With the recent approval of two new agents, available FDA-
`approved topical treatment options now include ciclopirox 8%
`nail
`lacquer, efinaconazole 10% solution, and tavaborole 5%
`solution.The rates of mycological cure, clinical cure, and com-
`
`plete cure observed in pivotal Phase 3 studies with these topical
`agents are summarized in Table 3.‘”'‘‘9 Note that these products
`were studied in different trials and conclusions regarding com-
`parative differences is not possible.
`
`Considerations for Treatment Choice
`
`Treatment choice may be based on causative agent, particular-
`ly differentiating between dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds,
`though in practice some patients begin treatment without my-
`cologic disease confirmation.
`In vitro antifungal activities, as
`measured by minimally inhibitory concentration (M|C),5°'53 are
`predictive (but not definitive) of clinical success (low MIC val-
`ues) or failure (higher MIC values). (Figure 1)
