Onychomycosis due to Onychocola canadensis: report of the first two Spanish cases.
Onychocola canadensis is a non-dermatophytic mould that may cause distal and lateral subungual or white superficial onychomycosis. It was first reported in 1990. To date, it has been reported only from temperate countries, namely Canada (14 cases), New Zealand (3), France (9) and the United Kingdom (4). We report the first two cases from Spain.
