      treatment.

AB  - The incidence of non dermatophytic mould (NDM) onychomycosis (OM) has been 
      steadily increasing Fusarium spp is the most common cause of NDM OM in most 
      geographical locations. Fusarium spp and other NDMs are largely resistant to 
      commonly used anti-fungals. The successful use of laser and light based devices 
      has been demonstrated in dermatophytic OM, but there is no previous report of 
      their successful use in any NDM OM. We describe a patient with OM caused by 
      Fusarium solani spp, who was clinically (with a normal appearing nail) and 
      mycologically (with negative microscopy and culture on repeated samples) cured of 
      her infection following treatment with 2 sessions of Qs NdYAG (532nm and 1064nm) 
      given 1 month apart.
