    Journal: Am J Trop Med Hyg; 2014 Oct; 91(4):664-665. PubMed ID: 25274832.
    Abstract:
    Prototheca wickerhamii, an environmental alga, rarely causes human infections. We present a case of Prototheca wickerhamii cutaneous and systemic infections in an 85-year-old male with adrenal insufficiency. This organism was identified by morphological features and microbiological tests. The patient was successfully treated with ketoconazole.
