Case 1 – Keegan Keegan, aged 85 years, is a patient who was seen by a colleague at your practice a few weeks ago for dystrophic toenail changes. The fungal microscopy and culture were both negative. Keegan has had onychomycosis several times before and has no red flag features pointing to another systemic diagnosis. His nail changes seem consistent with another episode of onychomycosis. Keegan tells you he has tried some topical nail therapies with no benefit. Question 1 Which one of the following would be your next step in management? A. Refer Keegan to a dermatologist. B. Advise Keegan that the negative microscopy and culture results mean he does not need treatment this time. C. Start methotrexate as Keegan may have psoriasis. D. Take further nail samples a few weeks apart before commencing treatment. #Week9_MCQ1
