Cutaneous Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Alternaria alternata Unresponsive to Itraconazole Treatment

الملخص EN

Cutaneous alternariosis is an opportunistic infection that has been described mainly in patients treated with corticosteroids.

We report a case of dermal alternariosis occurring in a woman treated with corticosteroids after a neurosurgery that was unresponsive to itraconazole.

Treatment with intravenous voriconazole was initiated, followed by oral protocol, with marked improvement of the lesions.
