Abstract
|
|
|
|
Fusarium species are a group of soil, saprobic and phytopathogic fungi. The pathogen generally affects immunocompromised individuals and infection of immunocompetent people is rarely reported. Fusarium species frequently have been found in immunocompetent people’s burned tissue and skin ulcers. We describe a case of cutaneous infection by Fusarium solani in an immunocompetent 67-year-old patient associated with arteriosclerosis obliterans. To the best of our knowledge, this has not been previously reported in the Korean dermatological literature.
