Thirty-one cases of histologically confirmed chromomycosis seen at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) between 1967 and 1986 were reviewed. A mean age of 56 years and a 5 to 1 male to female ratio were recorded. The lower limb was infected most frequently and both the macroscopic and microscopic disease showed typical features. Fonsecaea species were isolated in all 16 cases in whom mycological information was available (14 cases of F. pedrosoi). Surgical excision and split skin grafting produced long term cure in 7 to 10 cases with limited disease. Chromomycosis is more common in Jamaica than previous records would suggest.
回顾了1967年至1986年间在西印度群岛大学医院（UHWI）确诊的31例组织学确诊的着色芽生菌病病例。记录的平均年龄为56岁，男女比例为5比1。下肢感染最为常见，宏观和微观疾病均表现出典型特征。在所有16例可获得真菌学信息的病例中均分离出了裴氏着色霉属菌种（14例为裴氏着色霉）。手术切除和分层皮片移植使7至10例病情有限的患者获得了长期治愈。着色芽生菌病在牙买加比以往记录显示的更为常见。
