Nail Pathogen Panel

Specialists in the testing of Nail Pathogens using PCR.

What is Onychomycosis?

Onychomycosis is the common disease of the toenail. It is the cause of roughly 50% of nail deformities and effects approximately 14-18% of adults. It is important to identify the pathology of the nail deformation and determine a proper treatment plan.

Our lab can check nails for 38 pathogens and 8 resistance markers simultaneously in one day utilizing advanced molecular identification techniques.

PCR Detection of Pathogens

  • Precisely analyzes genetic material of pathogens.
  • Can be completed in 24-hours.
  • Can identify a wider spectrum of microbes (viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi simultaneously).
  • Provides a more definitive diagnosis.
  • Analysis is not affected by current antibiotic use.
