Nail Fungal Pathogens – Accurate Detection

Ponya Diagnostics offers a comprehensive nail fungal panel using molecular techniques to detect the most common fungal pathogens affecting nails and surrounding skin.

Onychomycosis is the most common fungal infection of the nails, responsible for nearly half of all adult nail deformities. Accurate identification of the specific pathogen is essential for effective treatment and long-term management. Left untreated, severe nail fungus can cause permanent nail damage or lead to more serious infections that may spread beyond the foot—especially in individuals with compromised immune systems due to conditions like diabetes or immunosuppressive therapy.

At Ponya Diagnostics, we prioritize accuracy and turnaround speed to support our healthcare partners. With advanced testing capabilities, state-of-the-art equipment, and seamless software integration, we help providers make timely, informed treatment decisions.

Nail Fungal Symptoms

Fungal infections start with the presence of fungus in the nail. It develops most often in older adults due to dry and cracked nails, making it easier for the fungus to lead to an infection. Other factors like a weak immune system, poor blood flow, and even athlete’s foot can lead to nail fungal infections.

Identifying Nail Fungal Infections

  • Discolored nails, including yellow, brown, or white
  • Thick nails
  • Fragile or cracked nails
  • Distorted shape of the nails
  • Foul smell

Nail Fungal Panel

Identifying the correct pathology of a nail deformity matters when developing the right treatment plan. Conditions such as psoriasis and malignancy can mimic the appearance of a fungal infection. Quick and accurate diagnostic data empower healthcare providers to address the issue efficiently and effectively.

We may use a nail clipping or swab of the infected area to test for nail fungal infections. We use molecular techniques, which offer significant improvements compared to results from a culture.
