Treacherous onychomycosis

One of the most common infectious disease is onychomycosis, popularly known as the mushroom. Pathology is not only common, but very insidious, and therefore requires careful handling. Onychomycosis belongs to the category of infectious diseases. Without medical help you will acquire a chronic form, with heavy consequences. The disease appears just so, it all depends on the hygiene habits of the person, features of the profession. Disease exposed to people of different age groups.

Activators

trihofitii, fungi of the genus Candida – the main pathogens of infectious pathology. In rare cases, it forms mold. According to statistics on human skin parasitic approximately 20 species trihofiti. Functions of microorganisms – spore education, resistance to high and low temperatures, drying of the antiseptic solution. When it gets on the skin or under the nail plate, disputes trihofiti grow, reborn on micro-organisms. In the form of thin threads (mycelium) penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin, nails. Mycelium have a thick cell wall, which protects their immune system and antibodies, which began to fight with them. ! The parasites penetrate into the bloodstream, spread to internal organs and systems. As a result, suffer the nails, lymph nodes in different parts of the body.

The source of infestation

Asymptomatic during the initial stage of the disease – in this betrayal of parasites. Fungus on fingers and toes in the early assault almost impossible to notice. For activities, the reproduction of micro-organisms favorable microclimate, it is the heat and humidity.

The carrier of the infection leaves a microscopic flakes of skin and nails at all as far as (the railings, the shower, the bench in the sauna, towels, shoes, sexual intercourse, painting, sports accessories).
