PCR-technique in the diagnosis of nail fungus
Onychomycosis, known as nail fungus, is an infection that usually affects the toenails and can make them discoloured, elevated and porous. Onychomycosis can be caused by dermatophytes, yeast and mould. Diagnosis of onychomycosis is usually done by culture or direct microscopy but can also be done through DNA-diagnosis through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of DNA extracted from nail clippings or nail scrapings.
