Abstract

|
|
A case of cutaneous lesions on the left lower leg caused by Curvularia species in an 80-year-old immunocompetent woman is described in this report. The etiological agent was identified as Curvularia species based on its colonial and microscopic morphology in pure tissue culture. The lesions healed after a 9-week regimen of oral itraconazole and topical lanoconazole.
