- Abstract
- Melanonychia is characterized by a tan, brown or black pigmentation within the nail plate. It results from increased melanin deposition. The stimulators and causes of melanonychia are numerous, but fungal melanonychia is rare. Candida species rarely cause black pigmentation of infected nails and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of melanonychia in the left big toenail because of Candida parapsilosis in a 47-year-old woman without any pathologic history.
