Clinical presentation of the patient and morphological findings for the infecting fungi. (A) Skin lesion on right hand dorsum; (B) Filamentous fungi grew as olive-green to dark-brown velvety colonies on potato dextrose agar incubated for 14 days; (C) Two types of conidia were produced: hyaline conidia which were oval to cylindrical (indicated by white arrow), and brown, thick-walled conidia which are spherical (indicated by black arrow) on lactophenol cotton blue stain (scale bar, 10 μm); (D) The conidia (within dotted circle) were clustered on the tip of slender and tapering phialides on lactophenol cotton blue stain (scale bar, 10 μm); (E) The phialides had flaring collarettes (indicated by white arrows) on lactophenol cotton blue stain (scale bar, 10 μm).
