Onychomycosis in the US Pediatric Population—An Emphasis on <i>Fusarium</i> Onychomycosis
Elementary school-aged children have a higher risk of contracting onychomycosis which may be attributed to the onset of hyperhidrosis at puberty, use of occlusive footwear, nail unit trauma, and walking barefoot. Fusarium onychomycosis may be more prevalent than expected, and this may merit consideration of management strategies.
