Tilletiopsis minor: a new etiologic agent of human subcutaneous mycosis in an immunocompromised host.

The diagnosis was based on repeated isolation of the fungus, observation of hyphal elements in tissue sections, the ability of the mold to grow at or near body temperature, and the achievement of a complete cure following surgery and antifungal therapy.
