Yellow nail syndrome

Yellow Nail Syndrome is a discoloration of the nails, making them appear yellow. Symptoms also include loss of lunula and cuticle. It is closely related to clubbing, a deformaty of the fingers and fingernails.

Like clubbing, the Yellow Nail Syndrome is associated with those who suffer from any infections in the heart or lungs, particularly bronchitis.
