Onychomycosis due to Emericella quadrilineata

J Clin Microbiol. 2004 Feb;42(2):914-6. doi: 10.1128/JCM.42.2.914-916.2004.

Abstract

Nondermatophytic fungi are increasingly being reported as etiological agents of onychomycosis. We describe here a case of hand nail infection caused by Emericella quadrilineata (anamorph Aspergillus tetrazonus), a species not so far known to be an etiological agent of onychomycosis.
