Abstract

Mycoleptodiscus indicus, a phytopathogenic dematiaceous hyphomycete, has only sporadically been described as an agent of subcutaneous infections in immunocompromised patients. A case of M. indicus abscess infection is reported here in a patient undergoing orthoptic heart transplantation. Surgical debridement together with Amphotericin B followed by a long-term therapy with Itraconazole cured the patient.
