Subcutaneous alternariosis of the foot in a patient on corticosteroids

A A Richardson et al. J Am Podiatr Med Assoc. 1993 Aug.

Abstract

To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of alternariosis involving the subcutaneous tissues of the foot. Podiatrists are likely to see more of this condition and other unusual fungi causing deep foot infections in the future because of the increasing population of immunocompromised patients.
