The present report describes a case of cutaneous protothecosis caused by Prototheca wickerhamii in a nonimmunocompromised Brazilian female. Dermatological examination revealed a 15-cm diffusely infiltrated eczema-like plaque recovered with many pustule-like lesions on the right forearm. We emphasize the mycological and pathological aspects of this infection that can lead to misdiagnosis. The patient was successfully treated with itraconazole.
本报告描述了一例由威克汉姆原藻引起的皮肤原藻病病例，患者为一名非免疫功能低下的巴西女性。皮肤科检查发现右前臂有一个15厘米的弥漫性浸润性湿疹样斑块，伴有许多脓疱样病变。我们强调了这种可能导致误诊的感染的真菌学和病理学方面。患者接受伊曲康唑治疗成功。
