RESUMO
This is a pilot study of 5 nail specimens to evaluate the role of Candida species in onychomycosis by taking pure isolates of different species of Candida, growing these yeasts with normal nail keratin and assessing the growth of fungus periodically macroscopically and the final evaluation was made under electron microscope. The results suggest that the Candida albicans primarily has an important role in keratolysis of nails
