title: [Entomophthoramycosis: a case report of a Congolese child with rapid regression using ketoconazole].
abstract: We report the second Congolese case of subcutaneous entomophthoramycasis, a rare tropical disease expressed as cellulitis. Despite characteristic clinical features, the diagnosis for this twelve-year old child was confirmed four years after the beginning of the disease. Dramatic clinical improvement was observed within the first month of treatment with ketoconazole.
