Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis, a fungal infection, affects exposed skin areas. This study details seven Korean cases caused by various dematiaceous fungi, highlighting treatment outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Phaeohyphomycosis is a fungal infection caused by dematiaceous fungi.
  • These fungi produce characteristic brown cells and hyphae in infected tissues.
  • Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis presents as skin lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report and analyze seven cases of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis in Korea.
  • To identify the causative fungal species and describe clinical presentations.
  • To review treatment modalities used for these infections.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of seven patient cases.
  • Identification of causative fungi through laboratory methods (not explicitly detailed in abstract).
  • Clinical data collection on patient demographics, lesion types, and treatment.

Main Results:

  • Seven cases (4 males, 3 females; age 9-84) of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis in Korea.
  • Common causative agents included Exophiala jeanselmei and Exophiala dermatitidis.
  • Lesions were typically abscesses or verrucous plaques on exposed body areas.
  • Treatments involved antifungal medications such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, and amphotericin B.

Conclusions:

  • Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis is a rare but significant mycosis in Korea.
  • Accurate identification of causative fungi is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Antifungal therapy is the mainstay for managing these infections.
