case report
case report
Paecilomyces sp, is a saprophytic fungus which has rarely been associated with
human disease. We report the first case of invasive subcutaneous infection caused by
this fungus in a 78-year-old female from Damghan, Iran, with diabetes and chronic
renal failure. A biopsy provided an initial diagnosis of the mold in tissue. Multiple positive
fungal cultures which were obtained from the biopsied tissue were subsequently
identified by microscopic and macroscopic characteristics to be Paecilomyces sp.
This case was successfully treated by oral ketoconazole (200 mg/day).
