However, there are common nail conditions that require special management. This article considers nail presentations in leprosy patients. General and specific conditions will be discussed. It also considers the common nail conditions seen in leprosy patients and provides a guide to diagnosis and management.

INTRODUCTION Leprosy can cause damage to the nails, generally indirectly. There are few reviews about the Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous infection affectation of the nails due to leprosy. Nails are caused by Mycobacterium leprae, known keratin-based elements of the skin structure that since ancient times and with great historical are often omitted from the dermatological connotations.1 This infection is not fatal but affects assessment of leprosy.

It is a form of hair shaft disorder with increased fragility. The condition is classified into inherited and acquired. Inherited forms may be either isolated or associated with numerous genetic diseases or syndromes (e.g., Menkes disease, Björnstad syndrome, Netherton syndrome, and Bazex-Dupré-Christol syndrome). Moreover, pili torti may be a feature of various ectodermal dysplasias (such as Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome and Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate syndrome). Acquired pili torti was described in numerous forms of alopecia (e.g., lichen planopilaris, discoid lupus erythematosus, dissecting Citation: Hoffmann, A.; cellulitis, folliculitis decalvans, alopecia areata) as well as neoplastic and systemic diseases (such Wa´skiel-Burnat,A.; Zółkiewicz,˙ J.; as cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, scalp metastasis of breast cancer, anorexia nervosa, malnutrition, Blicharz, L.; Rakowska, A.; Goldust, M.; Olszewska, M.; Rudnicka, L.

  • Differential Diagnosis of the Scalp Hair Folliculitis
    Acta Clin Croat 2011; 50:395-402 Review DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF THE SCALP HAIR FOLLICULITIS Liborija Lugović-Mihić1, Freja Barišić2, Vedrana Bulat1, Marija Buljan1, Mirna Šitum1, Lada Bradić1 and Josip Mihić3 1University Department of Dermatovenereology, 2University Department of Ophthalmology, Sestre milosrdnice University Hospital Center, Zagreb; 3Department of Neurosurgery, Dr Josip Benčević General Hospital, Slavonski Brod, Croatia SUMMARY – Scalp hair folliculitis is a relatively common condition in dermatological practice and a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to the lack of exact guidelines. Generally, inflammatory diseases of the pilosebaceous follicle of the scalp most often manifest as folliculitis. There are numerous infective agents that may cause folliculitis, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, as well as many noninfective causes. Several noninfectious diseases may present as scalp hair folli- culitis, such as folliculitis decalvans capillitii, perifolliculitis capitis abscendens et suffodiens, erosive pustular dermatitis, lichen planopilaris, eosinophilic pustular folliculitis, etc. The classification of folliculitis is both confusing and controversial. There are many different forms of folliculitis and se- veral classifications. According to the considerable variability of histologic findings, there are three groups of folliculitis: infectious folliculitis, noninfectious folliculitis and perifolliculitis. The diagno- sis of folliculitis occasionally requires histologic confirmation and cannot be based

  • The Dermatologist's Approach to Onychomycosis
    J. Fungi 2015, 1, 173-184; doi:10.3390/jof1020173 OPEN ACCESS Journal of Fungi ISSN 2309-608X www.mdpi.com/journal/jof Review The Dermatologist’s Approach to Onychomycosis Jenna N. Queller 1 and Neal Bhatia 2,* 1 Dermatology Chief Resident at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, Torrance, CA 90502, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] 2 Director of Clinical Dermatology, Therapeutics Clinical Research, San Diego, CA 92123, USA * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-858-571-6800. Academic Editor: Theodore Rosen Received: 24 June 2015 / Accepted: 5 August 2015 / Published: 19 August 2015 Abstract: Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the toenails or fingernails that can involve any component of the nail unit, including the matrix, bed, and plate. It is a common disorder that may be a reservoir for infection resulting in significant medical problems. Moreover, onychomycosis can have a substantial influence on one’s quality of life. An understanding of the disorder and updated management is important for all health care professionals. Aside from reducing quality of life, sequelae of the disease may include pain and disfigurement, possibly leading to more serious physical and occupational limitations. Dermatologists, Podiatrists, and other clinicians who treat onychomycosis are now entering a new era when considering treatment options—topical modalities are proving more effective than those of the past. The once sought after concept of viable, effective, well-tolerated, and still easy-to-use monotherapy alternatives to oral therapy treatments for onychomycosis is now within reach given recent study data. In addition, these therapies may also find a role in combination and maintenance therapy; in order to treat the entire disease the practitioner needs to optimize these topical agents as sustained therapy after initial clearance to reduce recurrence or re-infection given the nature of the disease.
