Abstract
Subcutaneous mycoses are a group of fungal infections of dermis and subcutaneous tissue which consist of sporotrichosis chromoblastomycosis phaeohyphomycosis hyalohyphomycosis mycetoma subcutaneous zygomycosis rhinosporidiosis lobomycosis and disseminated penicilliosis A total of 46 consecutive patients with clinically suspected subcutaneous mycoses attending various departments of Assam Medical College and Hospital were included in this prospective study to know the prevalence of subcutaneous mycoses in this eastern part of Assam Direct microscopy in 10 and 40 KOH histopathological examination of biopsied tissue colony characteristics on Sabourauds dextrose agar media both at 25 and 37 °C and detailed morphology of each fungus on lactophenol cotton blue mount were the basis of identification of the fungi Subcutaneous mycoses were confirmed in 326 n = 15 cases Out of 15 positive cases of subcutaneous mycoses chromoblastomycosis was detected in six cases n = 40 hyalohyphomycosis in three cases n = 20 and lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis disseminated penicilliosis and mycetoma in two cases each n = 133 each In this study seven different species of fungus were found to be responsible for five different clinical types of subcutaneous mycosis Cladosporium cladosporioides Bipolaris spicifera and Curvularia lunata were responsible for chromoblastomycosis Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus terreus for hyalohyphomycosis C lunata for mycetoma Sporothrix schenckii for lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis and Penicillium marneffei for disseminated penicilliosis C cladosporioides and C lunata were the commonest black fungi causing subcutaneous mycosis in this subHimalayan belt Rare species C cladosporioides B spicifera and C lunata were found to be causing chromoblastomycosis in this study
