Cutaneous alternariosis, a fungal infection, is presented in a kidney transplant patient. Treatment involved intralesional amphotericin B and surgical excision for persistent lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Mycology
  • Transplant Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Alternariosis is a fungal infection typically affecting immunocompromised individuals.
  • Cutaneous manifestations are rare, especially in organ transplant recipients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of cutaneous alternariosis in a renal transplant recipient.
  • To describe the management of this rare fungal infection.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a renal transplant recipient with cutaneous alternariosis.
  • Treatment included intralesional amphotericin B.
  • Surgical excision was performed for a non-responding lesion.

Main Results:

  • Successful management of cutaneous alternariosis caused by Alternaria alternata.
