ShellNailSyndrome (ShellNailSyndrome) nail bed and bone atrophy. Cornelius and shelley reported a case in 1967, in which the child developed bronchiectasis secondary to whooping cough at the age of 4, and nail changes appeared at the age of 5.
This disease may be a variant of yellow nail syndrome, and the etiology and pathogenesis are not yet clear. The clinical manifestations include acrocyosis, all nails present with longitudinal curvature, nail plate separation from the nail bed, and atrophy of the distal nail bed leading to malnutrition of the fingertips.
This disease mainly refers to the change in the shape of the nails, due to the local integrity of the nails being destroyed, it is easy to develop fungal infections in the nails, causing onychomycosis. At the same time, this disease often follows bronchiectasis, so clinically, symptoms related to pulmonary diseases are often concurrent, such as bronchiectasis can cause hemoptysis, long-term hemoptysis can cause iron deficiency anemia, which can further increase the brittleness of the nails.
The clinical manifestations are claw-like fingers, all nails are bent longitudinally, the nail plate is separated from the nail bed, the distal nail bed atrophy leads to malnutrition of the tip of the finger, and this disease may be a variant of yellow nail syndrome.
1. Eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as vegetables and fruits. Vitamin C can increase vascular elasticity and protect blood vessels.

This should attract the high attention of both clinical doctors and patients.
In this situation, it is necessary to eat more foods rich in nutrition, as well as foods high in calcium, iron, and zinc, and rich in vitamin D to promote the metabolism of nails. You can eat more fish, shrimp, crab, rooster, beef, seafood, and pay attention to keep the diet light, eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and fiber, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and eat more tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, winter melon, and other foods.

The etiology of this disease is not yet clear, and it may be related to environmental factors, genetic factors, dietary factors, and emotional and nutritional factors during pregnancy. Therefore, it is impossible to treat the disease directly based on the etiology. Early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are of great significance for the indirect prevention of the disease, and can also reduce the occurrence of infectious complications. For patients who have developed infection, antibiotics should be used as soon as possible.
