Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis and nocardiosis in a kidney transplant patient

H F McCown et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 1997 May.

Abstract

Phaeohyphomycosis and nocardiosis are uncommon infections that are more frequently reported in immunocompromised patients. To our knowledge, this is the first report of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis caused by Exophiala jeanselmei in association with systemic infection with Nocardia asteroides. The patient's phaeohyphomycosis responded to surgical excision and multi-drug therapy, and the patient underwent prolonged therapy with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole for treatment of the nocardiosis.
