Article Synopsis
- * A case study highlights a 46-year-old woman with chromoblastomycosis, confirming the diagnosis through skin examinations and fungal cultures, while also revealing co-infestation by fly larvae.
- * The patient was successfully treated with voriconazole and terbinafine, highlighting the need for awareness and understanding of chromoblastomycosis in occupationally exposed individuals in affected regions.
Background And Purpose: The frequency and genetic diversity of black fungi in environmental and clinical settings have not been fully studied in Iran. This study aimed to identify and evaluate intra- and inter-species DNA sequence variation and also understand the phylogenetic relationships of melanized fungi and relatives isolated from different geographical regions of Iran.
Materials And Methods: In total, 111 clinical and environmental strains of dematiaceous fungi were isolated, and their internal transcribed spacer ribosomal DNA (rDNA) regions were sequenced and analyzed.

The organisms opportunistically infect both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. The lungs are the primary site of infection and brain abscess is, by far, the most common complication following nocardial metastasis from pulmonary lesions.
