[Cutaneous Alternaria infectoria infection after liver transplantation].
We report a case of cutaneous alternariosis after liver transplantation. This rare phaeohyphomycosis is mainly observed in patients treated by corticosteroids. This case is remarkable for the species isolated: Alternaria infectoria. Clinical and histopathological features are studied and diagnostic problems are discussed.
