CUTANEOUS INFECTION BY ONYCHOCOLA CANADENSIS – CASE REPORT
Ramos, Leonor; Pereira, Neide; Cardoso, José Carlos; Tomé, R.Onychocola canadensis is a non-dermatophyte fungus that has been reported to cause onychomycosis in elderly patients. Cutaneous infection is extremely rare. Because of its slow growth and rarity, its identification is difficult, potentially giving rise to falsely negative mycologic cultures. A 65-year-old male patient presents with an exsudative circular erythematous lesion, with 3cm, on the lateral border of h...
