The Fungal Nail Test by Hainsworth Genomics

Accurate Diagnosis for Better Clinical Outcomes

Treating Fungal Nails?

Be Certain of Your Diagnosis With the Accuracy of Metagenomic Testing

Fungal nails are a common condition affecting approximately 10% of the general population, and greater than 50% of people aged 65 years and over suffer from the condition. Patients visiting a podiatrist or healthcare professional for fungal nail treatment often invest time and money into costly treatments. However, studies suggest that only approximately 50% of the time, the nail is infected by fungi and the pathogen is rarely identified with any certainty.

Without an accurate diagnosis, how can you create an effective customised treatment plan? Unfortunately, you cannot. The Hainsworth Metagenomic Fungal Nail Test removes the guesswork from your clinical assessment, leading to a certain diagnosis to inform treatments. This ultimately ensures that any patient experiencing fungal nail symptoms receives the best available treatment.
