Abstract
Fusarium spp. are fungi found throughout the world and can cause a great variety of skin infections, mainly in immunodepressed individuals. We present a case of skin infection with Fusarium sp. which manifested as painful superficial ulcers on the legs of an immunocompetent female patient, who had applied «medicinal mud» as a «natural remedy» for leg pain. The condition was cured with oral itraconazole and local treatments.
