摘要
An 80-year-old women complained of painful erythema, papules, nodules on her right wrist for 9 months. Granuloma and inflammatory infiltrates with septate fungal hyphae were observed in pathological sections. Growth of demaciatious fungus on SDA was confirmed to be Exophiala spinifera by microscopic appearance and ITS rDNA sequencing. The diagnosis of phaeohyphomycosis due to E. spinifera was established. The patient had a poor response to oral itraconazole (200 mg/d) combining with terbinafine (250 mg/d) for 6 weeks. Then, following three courses of ALA-PDT, used as adjuvant therapy, skin lesions greatly improved and remained stable after 3 months follow-up. The case suggests that ALA-PDT is an effective adjuvant treatment option for patients with recalcitrant local subcutaneous fungal infection.
