SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF CHROMOBLASTOMYCOSIS DUE TO <i>FONSECAEA PEDROSOI</i> BY THE COMBINATION OF ITRACONAZOLE AND CRYOTHERAPY

Abstract

Itraconazole was highly effective and may be useful in the treatment of chromoblastomycosis. A high dose is indicated in chronic fibrotic lesions in combination with liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, with higher efficacy and quicker healing than with medication alone.
