Abstract
This survey reveals a wide disparity in diagnostic criteria for onychomycosis as well as treatment methods among dermatologists in private practice. Mycological samples, which alone can confirm the fungal origin of onychopathy, were taken in less than half of all the cases studied. The most commonly prescribed oral treatment was terbinafine. This was frequently instituted in the absence of any matrix involvement and without confirmation of the diagnosis.
