Abstract
A case of cutaneous lesions on the left foot caused by Curvularia clavata in a 64-year-old immunocompetent man is described. Fungal elements were found in the exudate and biopsy specimen. The isolate was identified as C. clavata based on its colonial and microscopic morphology in pure culture. The skin lesions healed after a 12-week regimen with oral fluconazole. This is the second case of cutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by C. clavata.Entities:
