title: A case report of a mixed Chaetomium globosum/Trichophyton mentagrophytes onychomycosis.
abstract: Recently, an increasing prevalence of nondermatophyte mold onychomycosis was observed, in which Chaetomium globosum was rarely involved as primary pathogenic agent. Besides this, reports of mixed infection associating a dermatophyte and a nondermatophyte mold have become more frequent. Here, we present a clinical case of a mixed onychomycosis infection of a toenail caused by Chaetomium globosum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. To our knowledge, this specific association is reported for the first time in Canada.
