title: [Three cases of imported dermatomycosis by Scytalidium dimidiatum].
abstract: Scytalidium dimidiatum dermatomycosis are usually reported in tropical and subtropical countries. Some cases in Spain have been diagnosed due to the increasing number of immigrants from these areas. We herein describe three new cases of S. dimidiatum infections detected in Madrid. Two patients were from Guinea Ecuatorial and the third from Angola. We also report the first case of S. dimidiatum infection in a HIV patient in Spain. Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of S. dimidiatum infections reported in Spain are discussed.
