Abstract
A case of subcutaneous infection caused by Scytalidium synanamorph of Nattrassia mangiferae is reported in a 24-year-old female suffering from subacute discoid lupus erythematosus. Lesions were seen on the palm of the left hand and dorsal aspect of the right hand. Histopathology of the biopsied specimen revealed light brown hyphae and single celled structures along with many inflammatory cells. The patient showed marked improvement with oral chloroquin and itraconazole orally and ketoconazole cream topically.Keywords
