We report a case of an 80-year-old Brazilian man, farmer, with lesions on the dorsum of the hand. A direct mycological examination, cultivation and microculture slide observation was performed. The sequencing of ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2 region was carried out and the etiological agent confirmed as Exophiala spinifera. The in vitro susceptibility of this isolate to antifungal agents alone and in combination was evaluated. This is the third case of phaeohyphomycosis caused by Exophiala spinifera in Brazil.
我们报告一例80岁的巴西男性农民病例,其手部背部有皮损。进行了直接真菌学检查、培养及微量培养玻片观察。对ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2区域进行了测序,确认病原体为棘状外瓶霉。评估了该分离株对单一及联合抗真菌药物的体外敏感性。这是巴西第三例由棘状外瓶霉引起的暗色丝孢霉病病例。
