متن کاملPhaeohyphomycosis caused by Exophiala species in immunocompromised hosts.
Exophiala species are rarely implicated in clinical diseases. In the past 2 years, we have treated phaeohyphomycosis caused by Exophiala species in three immunocompromised patients. Two of these patients presented with subcutaneous abscess or cutaneous verrucous lesions due to Exophiala jeanselmei. The former, an 81-year-old woman, had pulmonary tuberculosis and the latter, a 62-year-old man, h...
