Cutaneous chromomycosis in renal transplant recipients. Successful management in two cases

Abstract

Cutaneous chromomycosis occurred in 2 renal transplant recipients from the southcentral USA. Both patients were managed successfully with surgical excision of isolated lesions and the condition of 1 of these improved but was not cured with low-dose ketoconazole therapy. Even in the immunocompromised host, localized cutaneous chromomycosis may not require more aggressive systemic antifungal chemotherapy.
