    This report details the first Danish case of cutaneous alternariosis, a fungal infection. The patient

    Area of Science:

    • Mycology
    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Cutaneous alternariosis is a rare fungal infection.
    • Risk factors include immunosuppression and environmental exposure.
    • This case occurred in Denmark.

    Observation:

    • A 73-year-old female farmer's wife presented with skin lesions.
    • Lesions appeared on legs, arms, and face.
    • The patient had a history of cancer treated with radiation, chemotherapy, and cortisone, leading to decreased resistance to infections.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis was confirmed through fungal culture and histological examination.
    • Skin lesions exhibited alternating spontaneous healing and new lesion formation.
    • Autoinoculation or re-exposure to the environment may explain lesion recurrence.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering rare fungal infections in immunocompromised patients.
    • It underscores the need for environmental awareness in disease transmission.
    • This is the first documented case of cutaneous alternariosis in Denmark.
