For non-dermatophyte infections - oral itraconazole as a pulsed therapy is recommended (200mg twice daily for 1 week a month for 2 months in fingernail and for 3 months in toenail infections) (1).
Successful treatment of mould nail infections (e.g. infections such as scopulariopsis brevicaulis, Fusarium species, Aspergillus species) may be more difficult than treatment of yeast or dermatophyte infections. Consult microbiologist for advice regarding treatment measures.
