Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), a common disease caused by enteroviruses (EVs), usually affects children. Clustered and sporadic HFMD cases, followed by onychomadesis (nail shedding), occurred during summer and fall 2008 in Valencia, Spain. Fecal samples from onychomadesis patients, who did or did not have previous HFMD, and from healthy children exposed to onychomadesis patients tested positive for EV. The complete viral protein 1 capsid gene sequence was obtained for typing and phylogenetic analysis. Two EV serotypes, coxsackievirus A10 and coxsackievirus B1 (CVB1), were mainly detected as a monoinfection or co-infection in a childcare center where an onychomadesis outbreak occurred. On the basis of our results, and detection of CVB1 in 2 other contemporary onychomadesis outbreaks in childcare centers in Spain, we propose that mixed infection of an EV serotype that causes HFMD, plus the serotype CVB1, could explain the emergence after HFMD of onychomadesis, a rare and late complication. Splinter hemorrhages (or haemorrhages) are tiny blood clots that tend to run vertically under the nails. Splinter hemorrhages are not specific to any particular condition, and can be associated with subacute infective endocarditis, scleroderma, trichinosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic nails,[1] antiphospholipid syndrome,[2]:659 haematological malignancy, and trauma.[3] At first they are usually plum-colored, but then darken to brown or black in a couple of days. In certain conditions (in particular, infective endocarditis), clots can migrate from the affected heart valve and find their way into various parts of the body. If this happens in the finger, it can cause damage to the capillaries resulting in a splinter hemorrhage. There are a number of other causes for splinter hemorrhages. They could be due to hitting the nail ("trauma"), a sign of inflammation in blood vessels all around the body ("systemic vasculitis"), or they could be where a fragment of ...

White nails or leukonychia is the most common chromatic abnormality of the nails 1. Leukonychia may be acquired or inherited and can be divided into (a) true leukonychia due to matrix involvement, (b) apparent leukonychia due to subungual tissue abnormality, and (c) pseudoleukonychia due to external factors affecting the nail plate 1.. Acquired leukonychia may be caused by a wide range of abnormalities; however, it is frequently associated with trauma (most common), drugs such as chemotherapeutic agents 2, infections, liver cirrhosis, ulcerative colitis or leprosy, hypocalcaemia and various dermatoses among others 1.. The clinical presentation of leukonychia ranges from complete nail whitening to discrete white punctata or striae 3. True leukonychia punctata is the most common form of leukonychia, in which small white spots appear on the nails as a result of repeated minor trauma to the matrix, such as picking and biting of the nails in young children and nail biters 1,4.. ...

Most people experience very little pain immediately following nail surgery, and during the healing process, which lasts approximately two to three weeks. If bone has been removed during surgery, a longer healing process should be anticipated.. Total Nail Removal/Partial Nail Removal - The podiatric surgeon may prescribe medication for pain, and may, but not always, advise that the toe be soaked two or three times daily for one week. Some amount of drainage is normal when the nail has been removed chemically or by laser. If the nail has been partially removed and stitches were used to form a new nail fold, they are removed in approximately 10 days.. Ingrown Nail - Daily soaking in a saline solution may be recommended. If the toe is inflamed or infected, a topical antibiotic is applied for three to seven days; if the infection is severe, an oral antibiotic may be prescribed. In very few cases, the infection may invade the bone beneath the nail, requiring hospitalization and further treatment. The ... YNS is an uncommon disorder. More than 300 cases have been reported in literature. In 1964, Samman1 described 13 patients, all of whom had thickened and slow-growing yellow nails, and 10 of whom also had lymphedema. This was the first reported case series of YNS. In 1966, Emerson4 added pleural effusion as a frequent feature of YNS. In 1979, Runyon et al5 described the classic triad of YNS: yellow nails, lymphedema, and pleural effusion. Later, bronchochiectasis, rhinosinusitis, recurrent pneumonia, and chronic cough were also recognized as frequent manifestations of YNS.6 Current opinion supports the replacement of pleural effusion with respiratory manifestations as the third criterion. The clinical features of YNS are variable among individuals and can vary over time. Only 27% of YNS patients have all 3 classic symptoms simultaneously.7,8 Hiller et al6 suggested the diagnosis of YNS can be made when a patient presents with 2 of the 3 classic symptoms at any given time without another ... What are the symptoms of brittle nails?. People with brittle nails may have frequent or easy breaking, cracking, splitting, or tearing of their nails.. Nutritional supplements that may be helpful for brittle nails. Nutrition can affect the health of nails in a variety of ways. Iron deficiency may cause spoon-shaped nails.1 For years, some doctors have believed zinc deficiency causes white spots to appear on nails. In China, excessive selenium has been linked to nails actually falling out.2. Biotin, a B vitamin, is known to strengthen hooves in animals. As a result, Swiss researchers investigated the use of biotin in strengthening brittle fingernails in humans, despite the fact that it remains unclear exactly how biotin affects nail structure. An uncontrolled trial of 2.5 mg biotin per day found improved firmness and hardness in almost all cases after an average treatment time of 5.5 months.3 In a controlled trial using 2.5 mg of biotin per day, women with brittle nails, who had their nail ... Having had toe nail fungus for over three years, I have tried many natural remedies to stop the spread and destroy the fungus. These remedies include tea tree oil, lavender oil, eucalyptus oil, witch hazel, hydrogen peroxide (3%), chlorine bleach (undiluted) , Calendulla, Vicks Vapor Rub, Epson salts, apple cider vinegar (as well as combined multiple variations of these treatments) and finally betadine (iodine). The fungus spread to the point of affecting up to 2/3rds of each nail bed, forcing the nail to separate, exposing the nail bed and leaving me with 1/3 of the original nail intact. I would apply a treatment everyday and give it 90 days to show some sign of improvement and if not, then move to another remedy. My method of treatment included clipping the newly formed nail back to the point of contact with the nail bed as well as file down the top surface of the nail to thin it and trim away any excess tissue then apply the liquid with a Q-Tip. Make sure that you place a couple of layers of ... Your fingernails are reflections of your personality. They always tell something about you, and that is whether you like it or not. For this reason, you should keep them clean and presentable. However, taking care of the nails does not start and end in being clean and presentable alone. Theres more to it than mere appearance. If you want to keep your nails in top condition, there are certain things that you should do. The nail care tips below are some of them: · If you want healthy nails, you should drink plenty of water. If your body is hydrated, it will show on your nails. Lack of fluid in the body will result to cracked and weak nails. · Before applying nail polish, apply varnish remover on your nails first to remove any amount of grease. Doing this will also add life to the nail polish itself. · Make sure that you intake enough vitamins especially Vitamins A, C and E. Vitamin B12 is also essential in nail care, as well as calcium, protein, iron, zinc and folic acid. They will keep your ... Symptoms of the following disorders may be similar to those of tooth and nail syndrome. Comparisons may be useful for a differential diagnosis:. Fried syndrome, an extremely rare genetic disorder, is also a form of ectodermal dysplasia. In infants and children with the disorder, several primary teeth may be absent and/or abnormally small, conical, and peg shaped. According to the medical literature, it is unknown whether the secondary (permanent) teeth are similarly affected. Fried syndrome is also characterized by abnormally thin fingernails; unusually small, thin toenails that may be curved inward (concave); slow growing, fine scalp hair; and/or thin, scanty eyebrows. In addition, affected infants and children may appear to have an outwardly turned lower lip (everted). The symptoms and physical findings associated with Fried syndrome are very similar to those occurring in tooth and nail syndrome. However, in individuals with Fried syndrome, the nails are not as severely affected. Fried ... Toenail fungus, like the name suggests, refers to a fungal infection that affects the nails, in this case, the toenails. The scientific name most doctors use for this type of infection is onychomycosis, which basically refers to a nail infection causing the growth of fungus.. Dark, warm conditions, such as those available when you wear your shoes, are the perfect environment for fungus to thrive. Toenail fungus manifests as white or yellow spots (in the early stages) at the tip of the toenail.. As it develops, your nail becomes thickened, changes shape, becomes brittle or crumbly, and gets dull and darker. In some cases, the area around your nail becomes moderately painful and sensitive.. Onycholysis occurs when the nail begins to detach itself from the nail bed. Toenail fungus may increasingly get uncomfortable as moisture builds in your toe and can also lead to bad shoe odor.. ...
