Clinically, the lesions generally start as a chancre at the trauma site, and these lesions may be associated with lymphadenopathy and lymphangitis. The criteria for diagnosis of PCB are; (i) the presence of characteristic skin lesions and lymphadenopathy or lymphangitis, (ii) a history of inoculation of fungus, (iii) no evidence of systemic involvement (before, during or after presentation), (iiii) culture or direct smear demonstrating the organisms in the skin lesions or lymph nodes. Here, we present a female patient diagnosed as PCB according to the history and histopathologic findings who responded to itraconazole. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: case study pictorial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: Turkish refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
