A case of chromoblastomycosis responding to treatment with itraconazole

Catherine Smith, Juliet N. Barker, Roderick J. Hay

Abstract

Chromoblastomycosis is a rare, chronic, cutaneous infection caused by a group of dematiacaeous fungi. We report a case which, in addition to characteristic clinical and histopathological features of chromoblastomycosis, displayed atypical, deep dermal/subcutaneous involvement, and showed a good response to itraconazole.
