ABSTRACT

Green nail syndrome is characterized by greenish discoloration of the nail. It is caused by Pseudomas aeruginosa which is an aerobic gram-negative rod found in moist environment. The most common predisposing factors are frequent exposure to water and trauma history. Herein, we report two cases of green nail syndrome who developed greenish discoloration of finger nails, which were treated by systemic levofloxacin and gentian violet application.
