Phaeohyphomycosis
Dermatol Clin.
1996 Jan.
Abstract
Mycoses caused by dematiaceous (darkly pigmented) fungi are escalating in contemporary medicine. Such fungal infections are properly termed phaeohyphomycosis and are of increasing concern to dermatologists. A high index of suspicion, knowledge of clinical and laboratory presentations, enhanced mycologic attention, and an awareness of current therapeutic modalities--surgical and chemotherapeutic--may offer optimal management strategies for patients experiencing this type of often unique mycotic infection.
