| description | We report a case of chromoblastomycosis in lesions on the chest and foot. Itraconazole was chosen as the initial
treatment for this patient, who was followed up for 8 months before becoming noncompliant. The pathogenic
fungal species was identified as Rhinocladiella similis by ITS region sequencing. In vitro analyses indicate that the fungus was sensitive to posaconazole and itraconazole. This report presents R. similis as a new agent of chromoblastomycosis and raises the hypothesis that this species could be more resistant to some antifungals than R. aquaspersa. |
