Abstract
The second human subcutaneous infection due to Exophiala spinifera from the United States is described. Identification was based on the morphology of the fungus in tissue and the morphological features of the culture obtained from the biopsy material. Correct diagnosis and treatment with ketoconazole and 5-fluorocytosine cured the infection. Viene riportato il secondo caso di infezione sottocutanea umana causata da Exophiala spinifera negli Stati Uniti, Il fungo è stato identificato sulla base della morfologia presentata nei tessuti infetti e nelle colture ottenute da materiale bioptico, Diagnosi corretta e trattamento con chetoconazolo e 5-fluorocitosina hanno permesso di curare l'infezione.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
