Abstract

Fusarium are ubiquitous hyalohyphomycoses, usually encountered in the soil. They are the second unusual fungal pathogens after the Trichosporon. Intertrigo Fusarium sp. is a rare achievement. We report a case of intertrigos interorteils in an immunocompetent 45years old and a same case associated with a total onychodystrophy in an immunocompromised 75year-old. Laboratory diagnosis has found Fusarium solani confirmed with the positivity of a pure culture twice. Good progress was noted with terbinafine treatment. One or more aggravating factors must always be sought. These cases are in addition to cases increasingly frequent intertrigo due to Fusarium sp.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS.
