초록
Alternaria is a common saprophyte that is not usually pathogenic in humans. However, infections by the fungus have occasionally been documented, occurring mostly in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of cutaneous alternariosis caused by Alternaria alternata in a 64-year-old woman presenting with a coin-sized, slightly elevated, dark red plaque on the right wrist without systemic immunosuppression. Macroscopic and microscopic morphology of fungal culture and histopathological differentiation offered diagnostic possibility. Systemic roxithromycin and itraconazole were administered with a dramatic resolution of the lesion.
