Abstract

The unusual case of a patient on peritoneal dialysis who progressively developed onychodystrophy of the hands 2 months after Acinetobacter peritonitis had been reported. The nail disease consisted of acute pseudoclubbing, elkonyxis, severe Beau's lines and onychomadesis and showed spontaneous recovery within 4 months. Although reminiscent of severe Beau's lines and reflex sympathetic dystrophy, this observation shows a peculiar nail disorder of unknown cause.
