Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We report a first case of non-dermatophytic onychomycosis of the toenail described in Kazakhstan caused by Candida parapsilosis.The biological properties of the strain were studied.C. parapsilosis forms white creamy colonies smooth with focal wrinkles, the reversum is light-yellow.The culture of C. parapsilosis is represented by a yeast form, characterized by the presence of round or cylindrical yeast cells with active budding.The strain has a high saccharolytic and urease activity, is indifferent to the sucrose and maltose.C. parapsilosis strain was sensitive to polyene and azole antifungal agents.The highest sensitivity was found to ketoconazole, itraconazole and nystatin.
