title: Treatment of chromoblastomycosis.
abstract: Treatment of chromoblastomycosis is frequently difficult and unsatisfactory. A representative case is presented of this chronic subcutaneous fungal infection, characterized by warty, cauliflower-like lesions usually on the extremities. Chromoblastomycosis and its treatment are reviewed, with attention to itraconazole, a new triazole compound, as the possible drug of choice.
