  • Title: [Chromomycosis].

    Abstract:
    A case of chromomycosis with an evolution of 25 years, in a caucasoid man, aged 57, living in Mozambique, is reported. Fonsecae pedrosoi, the most frequently responsible agent of chromomycosis in Mozambique's cases, was isolated. Prognosis seemed poor since good results from therapy were unexpected, considering the long course of disease, the extensive and fibrotic lesions, and the unsuccessful treatment with 5-fluorocytosine and ketoconazole. The patient was treated with associated amphotericin B-5-fluorocytosine, and topical heat. Clinical improvement and mycologic negative studies were obtained.
