Summary A case of onychomycosis with nail dystrophy due to Microsporum gypseum in a healthy 35‐year‐old woman is described. The infection had a 2‐year history, occurring in the site of a nail trauma sustained in a fall from a horse. Diagnosis was based on mycological examination (direct microscope observation and culture). Clinical and mycological recovery was achieved after local treatment with ciclopiroxolamine nail solution and pulsed systemic terbinafine therapy.
