The epidemiology of onychomycosis in Italy is still unclear. To evaluate the prevalence of onychomycosis in a representative sample of the Italian population a group of Dermatologists and General Practitioners carried out an observational survey on the patients coming to their office during a 1\u2010month period. Any patient with skin or systemic disease giving their consent was enrolled. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, lifestyles, history of previous mycosis, clinical aspects of onychomycosis and mycological evaluation were studied. A total of 8331 patients (56.7% female and 43.3% male) were evaluated. More than half of them were aged \u226546 years. Onychomycosis was diagnosed in 14.2% of patients. Big toe and thumb were the most frequently affected nails. Onychomycosis was moderate\u2010severe in 74.1% of the cases. Mycological tests were positive in 81.3% of the cases. Dermatophytes were found in 76.6% of the cases, yeasts in 17.2% and moulds in 6.3%. Risk factors and\/or comorbidities were present in 68.2% of the cases. This survey showed a 14% prevalence of onychomycosis in the evaluated population. The main risk factors were previous onychomycosis, diabetes, hallux valgus and use of occlusive footwear.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/myc.12396","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,28]],"date-time":"2015-09-28T08:09:14Z","timestamp":1443427754000},"page":"659-664","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Epidemiology of onychomycosis in Italy: prevalence data and risk factor identification"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Manuela","family":"Papini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Biomedicine Dermatologic Clinic of Terni University of Perugia Perugia Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bianca Maria","family":"Piraccini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Dermatology Department of Experimental Diagnostic and Specialty Medicine University of Bologna Bologna Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elisa","family":"Difonzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery and Translational Medicine Section of Dermatology University of Florence Florence Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Brunoro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Galderma Italia S.p.A.
