Approximately half of the patients with onychomycosis caused by Neoscytalidium dimidiatum achieved a mycological cure, with a median time to cure exceeding 1 year. Combined topical and systemic antifungal treatments yield a higher chance of mycological cure than monotherapies. Advanced age, nail thickness and peripheral vascular disease are obstacle factors to cure.
