Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the epidermis, dermis and
subcutaneous tissue, in which the most common etiologic agent in Brazil is
Fonsecaea pedrosoi. In more advanced cases we found many
difficulties in their treatment, and therefore, we report a case of extensive
and severe chromoblastomycosis, with therapeutical failure of first choice
treatments, but good response to voriconazole.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
