Annotation	The objective of the work is to determine interconnection between the presence of 
concomitant pathology in patients with onychomycosis with the clinical form of the 
disease.
Materials and methods.Under the supervision were 186 patients with onychomycosis
aged 18 to 72 years, 99 men and 107 women. All patients underwent clinical and 
medical history and laboratory examination (microscopy and cultural examination). 
According to the clinical forms, patients with onychomycosis were distributed as 
follows: 17 people suffered from a superficial white form, 98 –  distallylateral, 
55 –  total-dystrophic, 16 –  proximal.
Results.In the course of the study, it was found that 171 patients (91.9%) had a 
concomitant pathology. Pathogenetically significant concomitant diseases of the 
cardiovascular system were detected in 159 (92.9%). Pathology of the endocrine 
system was 51 people (50.9%). Concomitant pathology from the digestive system 
was in 108 people (63.2%). Gastrointestinal tract diseases were noted by 123 people 
(77.2%). 92 people complained of diseases of the musculoskeletal  system (53.8%). 
42 people (24.6%) suffered from chronic dermatoses. 9 patients suffered from upper 
respiratory tract diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. With a 
total-dystrophic clinical form of onychomycosis 3–4 concomitant diseases were 
noted in each patient, with a proximal –  2–3, with a distal-lateral and superficial 
white –  1–2.
Conclusions. Concomitant  pathogenetically  significant  pathology  in  patients  
with  onychomycosis  contributes  to  the  development of more severe clinical forms
of onychomycosis, causes a refusal to prescribe systemic antimycotics in complex 
treatment and justifies the need to develop new approaches to the treatment of 
patients with onychomycosis.
