Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis is caused by traumatic implantation of melanized environmental fungi. The majority of cases occur in tropical areas of the world or are associated with travel from these regions. Herein, we describe a rare case of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by in an immunocompetent Somalia-born patient. The use of molecular diagnostics as an essential tool for identification of rare fungal pathogens is highlighted.
皮下暗色丝孢霉病是由黑色素化环境真菌的创伤性植入引起的。大多数病例发生在世界热带地区或与来自这些地区的旅行有关。在此,我们描述了一例在免疫功能正常的索马里出生患者中由[未提及真菌名称]引起的罕见皮下暗色丝孢霉病病例。强调了使用分子诊断作为鉴定罕见真菌病原体的重要工具。
