title: Onychomycosis: an Asian perspective.
abstract: Extrapolated data from epidemiologic studies of onychomycosis unique to Asia have produced intriguing revelations and opened new lines of inquiry; however, the usefulness of this research is compromised by lack of uniformity in data collection. It is proposed that a common protocol be constructed to facilitate the study ofonychomycosis, in Asia, as elsewhere, the most common disease of the nails.
