Chromoblastomycosis: A Rare Case Report

Abstract

BACKGROUNDChromoblastomycosis belongs to the heterogeneous group of subcutaneous mycoses. It is caused by various pigmented (Dematiaceous) fungi, which gain entry into the skin via traumatic implantation. We would like to share a case report of chromoblastomycosis in a 30-year-old male, who presented to DVL OP Osmania General Hospital with the complaints of slowly progressive, raised itchy lesions over abdomen, limbs and back since 1yr. He has been treated with itraconazole 200mg twice daily. The patient showed favourable response to itraconazole.
