Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis is the most frequent form of phaeohyphomycosis.
  • Fonsecaea pedrosoi has been previously identified as a cause of this infection in India.

Observation:

  • A 22-year-old farmer presented with a soft, cystic swelling on the left wrist.
  • Direct examination of the aspirate revealed dematiaceous hyphae.

Findings:

  • Culture of the aspirate confirmed the presence of Fonsecaea pedrosoi.
  • The patient showed a positive response to antifungal treatment.

Implications:

  • This case reinforces Fonsecaea pedrosoi as a significant etiological agent of subcutaneous phaeohyphomycosis in India.
