Infected nail is an important source of recurrent SFFI. In Sri Lanka 16% of urban population is suffering from diabetes and are at increased risk for SFFI. As the diabetes patients are more prone to get fungal foot infections, early intervention is advisable owing to the progressive nature of the infection.
