Abstract
The epidemiology and ecology of onychomycosis are complex and little understood. Most is known about tinea unguium, dermatophytic nail infection, and its causative agents. This is often categorised according to the precise locus on the nail of the infection. The principal infectious propagules are thought to be the arthroconidia or chlamydospores which form within the solid substratum of invaded nail tissue. The process of infecting new hosts appears to be facilitated by abrasion, moistening and scratching. The role of the non-dermatophyte yeast Candida as an agent of onychomycosis per se may have been overestimated. The range of interactions between dermatophytes and non-dermatophytes in nails is complex and poorly understood. There may be at least six distinct ecological categories of non-dermatophyte isolations from nails. It would be of clinical interest to know which species found in mixed infections were never able to advance beyond 'secondary colonisation', as they would not require specific treatment.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
