Presentation Transcript

  1. Chromoblastomycosis A mycotic infection of the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues characterized by the development in tissue of dematiaceous (brown-pigmented), planate-dividing, rounded sclerotic bodies. Infections are caused by the traumatic implantation of fungal elements into the skin and are chronic, slowly progressive and localized. Tissue proliferation usually occurs around the area of inoculation producing crusted, verrucose, wart-like lesions. Distribution: World-wide but more common in bare footed populations living in tropical regions. Aetiological Agents: Various dematiaceous hyphomycetes associated with decaying vegetation or soil, especially Phialophora verrucosa, Fonsecaea pedrosoi, F. compacta and Cladophialophora carrionii.
