| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Onychomycosis represents a majority of nail diseases and superficial fungal infections seen in clinical practice. The current study was aimed to study an association between onychomycosis and demographic characteristics, and the effect of carbon dioxide in treatment infection. Methods: The study was done in Al-Hussein teaching hospital, from June 2023 to October 2024, the study was involved the patients with Nail clipping for fungus that are affected by onychomycosis, and study the effect of carbon dioxide treatment. Results: The results of this study were showed that the incidence of onychomycosis in women was 75% compared to men 25%. The study also showed that the highest incidence was in the ages ranging from (20 to 30) and older than (41 years). The study also showed that 64% of the disease was caused by T. rubrum and the 36% Candida Spp. The results also showed that there was no significant difference according to treatment with fractional carbon dioxide. Conclusion: The fractional carbon dioxide laser represents a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of onychomycosis. Without causing nail bed damage or subungual bleeding, onychomycosis can be treated safely and effectively. | ||||
