Climate Change, Natural Disasters, and Cutaneous Fungal Infections. [PDF]

Int J Dermatol
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are an important source of morbidity and mortality that can manifest as superficial or invasive diseases. Diagnostic techniques for human fungal pathogens remain problematic, and multi‐drug resistance is emerging. This review addresses the potential emergence of new fungal pathogens in changing environments and reported ...

Triple therapy approach for treating chromoblastomycosis in a Lebanese patient. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
Key Clinical Message Chromoblastomycosis, though rare in non‐endemic regions like Lebanon, should be considered in patients presenting with chronic, verrucous skin lesions unresponsive to conventional therapies. Multimodal treatment combining oral antifungals, cryotherapy, and adjunctive topical 5‐Fluorouracil demonstrates efficacy in managing ...

Chromoblastomycosis

Medical Journal of Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth, 2021
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic fungal infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by one of several dematiaceous (naturally pigmented) fungi. Predominantly, an infection of the humid tropical and subtropical regions, chromoblastomycosis does occur in India, and its diagnosis is usually delayed due to the low level ...

Lymphangitic chromoblastomycosis

Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, 2006
Chromoblastomycosis (CM), a chronic subcutaneous mycosis, is caused by several dematiaceous fungi, the most common being Fonsecaea pedrosoi. It usually occurs in the lower extremities following traumatic implantation of the organisms. We are reporting a case of chromoblastomycosis on the right lower limb in a sporotrichoid pattern caused by F. pedrosoi.

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

CHROMOBLASTOMYCOSIS

Dermatologic Clinics, 1996
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic cutaneous infection due to several varieties of pigmented fungi. Diagnosis is straightforward and based on clinical and microscopic findings. Despite the protracted course of the disease, dissemination of the infection is rare. New insights into the pathophysiology may permit a closer appreciation of the clinical course.

Infrared Spectroscopy as a Promising Tool for Diagnosing and Typing Human Pathogenic Fungi

Mycoses, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections are increasingly recognised as a global health challenge, responsible for millions of cases annually and substantial mortality, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Yet, the diagnosis of these infections remains notoriously difficult, often delayed by slow culture‐based methods or hindered by the high cost and ...

Chromoblastomycosis: an exuberant case [PDF]

Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2014
Chromoblastomycosis is a chronic subcutaneous mycotic infection caused by dematiaceous saprophytic moulds. The most frequently isolated agent is Fonsecae pedrosoi. This article reports a case of a man from the Amazon region in Northern Brazil who presented with a lesion of 12 months' duration, which gradually increased in size until covering the ...
