Abstract

Since the early 20th century, onychomycosis originated with the onset of war, the use of occlusive footwear, and the mass migration of people by transportation in the United States. Even though onychomycosis has a high prevalence in the US, other parts of the world including Canada, West Africa, Southeast Asia, Northern Australia, and Europe have been well documented with cases of fungal toenail infection in their environments.

Keywords: age influence of onychomycosis; cultural habits; environmental factors; genetics; onychomycosis; tinea pedis; toenails; trichophyton rubrum
