Abstract
Onychomycosis is widespread all over the world. The choice of treatment tactics continues to be a difficult task for dermatologists. The use of combination therapy showed high clinical and mycological results of treatment, and also reduced the risk of relapses after discontinuation of therapy. Evaluation of the effectiveness of this therapy is based on knowledge of the reverse development of clinical symptoms.
