Abstract
- Green nail syndrome is characterized by greenish discoloration of the nail. It is caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and mostly associated with paronychia in persons whose hands are frequently exposed to water. Trauma of the nail fold or nail plate is another predisposing factor of this infection. Here we report a case of green nail syndrome in a 27-year-old man who develops asymptomatic greenish discoloration and fragile thickening of the nail plate on his left great toe after trauma.
