Nail & Paronychia Diagnostics
Direct or indirect trauma to the nail, cuticle or surrounding skin may allow opportunistic bacterial or fungal pathogens to enter the body and affect the overall health and mobility of the hand, foot, and nail. Onychomycosis and Paronychia (acute or chronic) are common inflammatory conditions that often require lengthy and costly patient treatments. Renuvix Labs can effectively detect most aerobic, anaerobic, polymicrobial and fungal infections to help clinicians determine the most effective treatment protocols.
