Abstract:
A Curvularia species was isolated from a chronic ulcer on the lower limb of a 21-year-old man. The histopathological findings supported the mycological diagnosis. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed using a crude soluble fungal antigen. The patient's serum contained significantly more antibodies than 10 sera from control subjects (P < 0.05, t-test).
