Fusarium species are common soil-inhabiting organisms and plant pathogens. Human infections are usually precipitated by local or systemic predisposing factors, and disseminated infection is associated with impaired immune responses. Skin infections caused by Fusarium spp. include keratitis, onychomycosis, mycetoma, painful discrete erythematous nodules. Hyperkeratotic skin lesions caused by Fusarium spp. are, however, rarely reported. We report a case of hyperkeratotic verrucous warty skin lesion in the foot of a 50-year-old immunocompetent male, farmer by occupation.
镰刀菌属是常见的土壤栖息生物和植物病原体。人类感染通常由局部或全身易感因素诱发，播散性感染与免疫反应受损有关。镰刀菌属引起的皮肤感染包括角膜炎、甲癣、足菌肿、疼痛性离散性红斑结节。然而，由镰刀菌属引起的角化过度性皮肤病变很少有报道。我们报告一例发生在一名50岁免疫功能正常男性足部的角化过度性疣状皮肤病变病例，该男性职业为农民。
