MORATA ALBA, J; MORATA ALBA, L; ESTEVE MARTINEZ, A and MESSEGER BADIA, F. Nail injury in a seven-year-old girl, what to suspect?. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.73, pp.57-62. ISSN 1139-7632.
The nail changes in children are a common reason for consultation in primary care. The proper development of nails depends on various physiological processes, both local and systemic, so a large number of conditions can cause nail changes. During infancy, there are physiological differences on nails with adults. Knowing these physiological variations is essential for proper management. The case of a seven-year-old girl with nail lesions with nail pitting and striations is presented.
