[Treatment of Lobo's disease with clofazimine (B 663)].
The author studies the three first cases of Lobo's mycosis treated with oral clofazimine. That is a curious tropical disease, which only occurs in neotropical region, particularly in the Brazilian Amazon. Without any known effective treatment, the mycosis has however responded well to clofazimine in the three cases, the results being significant regression of lesions by reabsorption of their content and disorganization of fungal structures.
