    Author: Rajan RJ, Mohanraj P, Rose W.
    Journal: J Trop Pediatr; 2017 Jun 01; 63(3):217-220. PubMed ID: 27794531.
    Abstract:
    Basidiobolomycosis is an uncommon cutaneous zygomycete infection typically seen in immunocompetent individuals. Diagnosis can be made by biopsy and fungal culture of the lesion. Treatment with Potassium iodide and co-trimoxazole is simple and effective. Early and accurate diagnosis of basidiobolomycosis is essential to avoid dissemination and mortality. We present a case with basidiobolomycosis resembling Fournier's gangrene.
