Resumen
Introducción: La micosis en las uñas o Onicomicosis es una infección que afecta alrededor del 10% de los adultos y del 20% de las personas mayores. Esta micosis puede ser adquirida en el medio ambiente, especialmente en zonas cálidas y húmedas, que son factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de hongos, los cuartos de baño, duchas, vestuarios y piscinas públicas, zapatos cerrados, edad, la falta de higiene y cuidado, presencia de infecciones, lesiones en la uña, frecuentar espacios públicos descalzos entre otros donde albergan hongos. El contacto con el hongo por sí solo no suele ser suficiente para adquirirse la Onicomicosis. En general es necesario existir pequeñas lesiones entre la uña y la piel para que el hongo pueda penetrar por debajo de la uña y la piel, como por ejemplo estar encarnada. Objetivo: Determinar la micosis y su relación con uñas encarnadas en pacientes adultos que ingresan al Hospital IESS Sur de

Introduction: Mycosis in the nails or Onychomycosis is an infection that affects about 10% of adults and 20% of older people. This mycosis can be acquired in the environment, especially in hot and humid areas, which are risk factors for the development of fungi, bathrooms, showers, changing rooms and public swimming pools, closed shoes, age, lack of hygiene and care, presence of infections, injuries to the nail, frequent barefoot public spaces among others where they harbor fungi. Contact with the fungus alone is usually not enough to acquire Onychomycosis. In general it is necessary to have small injuries between the nail and the skin so that the fungus can penetrate below the nail and XVIII the skin, such as being incarnated. Objective: To determine mycosis and its relationship with incarnated nails in adult patients admitted to the IESS Sur Hospital in Valdivia, Guayaquil, during the period from July 2016 to June 2017. Instruments: The techniques used were direct observation, the evaluation of clinical records of each patient with mycosis related to ingrown nails and as a working tool a form was used, the data were processed and analyzed by means of Microsoft Word, Excel and the SPSS program.
