Summary: | Chromoblastomycosis is one of the most important implantation (subcutaneous) mycoses in the world. In recent years, the most significant advances against this disease have been made on the molecular taxonomy of the etiologic agents with an increase of the reported cases from Mainland China and South America. This article outlines the actual microbiologic, eco-epidemiologic and clinico-pathologic aspects of the disease, as well as recent therapeutic tolls to treat patients with different severity of chromoblasomycosis lesions. |
