Abstract:
The clinical, histopathologic, and mycologic aspects of a case of subcutaneous phycomycosis caused by Basidiobolus haptosporus in a 3-year-old boy are reported. This is the first documented case from Central and North America. Oral potassium iodide and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole gave excellent therapeutic results.
