ABSTRACT
Onychomycosis, a fungal infection affecting the nail, is characterized by discoloration and thickening of the nail plate and is the most prevalent nail infection globally. We present a case of onychomycosis caused by Trichosporon asahii, a less common etiology. Notably, the patient was successfully treated with a non-traditional antibacterial approach, photodynamic therapy, which has been infrequently documented in the literature for such infections.
