title: [A young man with discoloured nails].
abstract: A 23-year-old man consulted his general practitioner with discoloured nails. The nails showed the typical pattern of half and half nails or Lindsay's nails. This condition sometimes accompanies renal failure or thyroid disease and must be differentiated from Terry's nails, psoriatic nails and onychomycosis. Blood tests showed no underlying condition in this patient.
