Abstract

Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissues caused by pigmented fungi. It is primarily a disease of the tropics and subtropics. It is uncommon in the UK where it may occur as an imported disease. We describe a 42-year-old lady who developed chromoblastomycosis on her right forearm from Cladosporium, after visiting Malta. The lesion resolved after treatment with itraconazole for 6 months. To our knowledge there are no previous reports of chromoblastomycosis from Malta. We review the clinical course, diagnosis and management of this condition.

摘要

着色芽生菌病是一种由色素真菌引起的皮肤和皮下组织的慢性真菌感染。它主要是热带和亚热带地区的疾病。在英国并不常见，可能作为一种输入性疾病出现。我们描述了一位42岁的女性，她在访问马耳他后，右前臂因枝孢菌感染患上了着色芽生菌病。用伊曲康唑治疗6个月后病变消退。据我们所知，此前没有关于马耳他着色芽生菌病的报道。我们回顾了这种疾病的临床过程、诊断和管理。
