title: Onychomycosis in HIV-positive patients.
abstract: Onychomycosis is a common podiatric condition that has become an increasing problem as the number of patients with HIV infection has grown. Although it is not among the most severe infections that affect HIV-positive patients, it tends to be more extensive, refractory to treatment, and has a unique clinical presentation in this patient population. It is important for the podiatric physician to be aware of the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of onychomycosis in HIV-positive patients.
