Abstract
Chromoblastomycosis is caused by dematiaceous fungi. It develops after inoculation of the organism into the skin. The lesion begins as a pink, scaly papule or warty growth. We report a case of chromoblastomycosis occurring in a multibacillary leprosy patient, who had already been released from treatment (RFT). The diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of sclerotic bodies (Medlar bodies/copper penny bodies). Systemic antifungal treatment has been found effective. The case is being reported in view of the association of two diseases and the dramatic clinical response to systemic treatment with Itraconazole.
