Why Laboratory Testing Matters
Accurate diagnosis:
- Only 50% of suspected cases of onychodystrophy are onychomycosis.3
- Potential therapeutic differences require the identification of NDMs and mixed infections.
- Laboratory confirmation is essential to guide clinical therapeutic decision-making.
Antifungal Stewardship:
- Supports targeted therapy by confirming fungal etiology prior to treatment.
- Ensures appropriate systemic antifungal utilization, reducing risk of side effects—especially in elderly or individuals with underlying conditions.
- Promotes responsible prescribing practices aligned with antifungal stewardship initiatives.
Scientific Evidence:
- The CDC and AAD recommend confirmatory testing prior to the initiation of antifungal therapy.
- Aligns with evidence-based medicine for accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment planning.
