    Area of Science:

    • Medical Mycology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Chromomycosis is a chronic fungal infection typically found in tropical and subtropical regions.
    • Autochthonous cases indicate infections acquired locally, not through travel.

    Purpose:

    • To report the first autochthonous case of chromomycosis in Spain.
    • To document the clinical and mycological findings of this rare infection.

    Summary:

    • A patient from the Valencia province, Spain, was diagnosed with chromomycosis.
    • The causative agent was identified through mycological investigation by Prof. Dante Borelli.

    Impact:

    • Establishes the presence of chromomycosis endemicity in Spain.
    • Highlights the importance of considering rare fungal infections in differential diagnoses.
  • Provides a baseline for future epidemiological studies in the region.
