Abstract
ABSTRACT Alternaria alternata, a saprophytic pigmented fungus, usually manifests in immunocompromised hosts. A case of 53-year-old male who underwent renal transplant 4 years back with recurrent foot swelling and previously misdiagnosed and treated for actinomycosis is presented. The swelling was completely excised, staining and culture diagnosed it to be Alternaria alternata infection which responded very well to oral voriconazole.
