abstract: The modes of spread of fungal infection on the nails are discussed stressing the essential importance of the knowledge of this mode for finding of effective treatment of ungual trichophytosis. On the basis of own observations and reports of other authors combined operative and pharmacological treatment of trichophytosis is discussed and its usefulness is confirmed by the results of treatment and investigations. In 90 patients treated with griseofulvin 88.9% cures were obtained. In the light of these results the methods suggested by other authors for treatment of trichophytosis without surgical removal of nail plates are discussed.
