Onychomycosis pathology has been a valuable tool for sales reps to build a relationship with their physicians. Onychomycosis is a common disease of the toenail. It is the cause of roughly 50% of nail deformities and affects approximately 14-18% of people living in the USA. It is important to identify the pathology of the nail deformation and determine a proper treatment plan. Many insurances also now command that the pathology of a nail infection be identified before the commencement of treatment.
Conditions such as Psoriasis and Malignant Melanoma can mimic the appearance of Fungal infections.
The Histopathology
Ability Diagnostics employs four tests to identify and/or rule out fungal infections involving the toenail plate and nail bed.
PCR Pathogens Tested include Acremonium Structum, Curvularia Lunata, Aspergillus Niger, Versicolor, Candida Albicans, Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and more with a 99.5% efficacy. The PAS/GMS stains reveal dermatophyte pathogens within the superficial, nail plate and subungual layers.
