Abstract
Three cases of subcutaneous phycomycoses in south Indians are reported. Two of the lesions were in children: an 8 year-old girl having a lesion of the thigh and a 2 1/2 year-old boy of the whole upper limb and pectoral region; the third was in a 28 year-old man who had lesions of the thigh and gluteal region. The specific diagnosis was made by histopathology and by the isolation of Basidiobolus haptosporus from each of the cases. The girl responded well to wide excision and skin grafting followed by potassium iodide (KI) treatment. With KI treatment there was remarkable improvement in the boy and fair response in 9 days in the 28 year-old man.Keywords
