We have reported the 22nd case in the literature of protothecosis, a rare disease of man and animals due to infection with non-chlorophyll-producing algae of the genus Prototheca. The skin is most often affected, but generalized, disseminated involvement has been reported. Infection is usually severe and may be fatal. Amphotericin B in combination with tetracycline is the treatment of choice.
我们报告了文献中第22例原藻病病例，原藻病是一种人和动物的罕见疾病，由原藻属非产叶绿素藻类感染所致。皮肤最常受累，但也有全身性播散性受累的报道。感染通常较为严重，可能致命。两性霉素B联合四环素是首选治疗方法。
