Background: Onychomycosis is a common cause of nail dystrophy and may be associated with tinea pedis. Its prevalence among diabetic patients is three times that in healthy individuals. The presence of fungal infection in clinically normal nails in patients with type II diabetes is unknown. Objective: Assessment of the efficacy of nail clipping in diagnosing both clinical and subclinical onychomycosis, besides, the assessment of possibility of presence of subclinical onychomycosis in patients with type II diabetes that might suggest early therapeutic intervention in such patients.
