Chromomycosis is a chronic, localized infection of the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues caused by dematiaceous fungi of several genera. It has distinctive clinical, pathological and mycological characteristics. Exophiala spinifera is a well-established aetiological agent of phaeohyphomycosis, but there are only two reported cases worldwide of this dematiaceous fungus causing chromomycosis. We report the first known case in the UK of E. spinifera causing chromomycosis.
着色芽生菌病是由多个属的暗色真菌引起的皮肤和皮下组织的慢性局限性感染。它具有独特的临床、病理和真菌学特征。棘状外瓶霉是公认的暗色丝孢霉病的病原体，但全世界仅有两例该暗色真菌引起着色芽生菌病的报道。我们报告了英国首例由棘状外瓶霉引起着色芽生菌病的病例。
